Did you know that the Community Schemes Ombud Service conducts Compliance Assessments to ensure that community schemes meet regulatory and governance requirements? Compliance assessments help promote accountability, transparency, and the effective management of community schemes. Registered schemes may be required to submit governance and compliance documents within the prescribed timelines. Failure to comply may result in non-compliance notices being issued. Stay compliant. Protect your community scheme.

Is your community scheme compliant? A compliant scheme ensures that levies and annual returns are up to date, conduct rules are approved, AGMs are held, financial records are maintained, and long-term planning is in place. Stay informed. Stay compliant. Build a well-managed community scheme for all. For assistance, contact the Community Schemes Ombud Service: 📞 0800 000 653 📧 info@csos.org.za #CSOS #CommunitySchemes #Compliance #GoodGovernance #Transparency #Accountability #SectionalTitle #PropertyManagement #CommunityLiving
