act may result in deregistration. It is a criminal offence to make a material misrepresentation in any

2.3

The advantages of registering a paralegal advice centre as a non-profit organisation under the non-
profit organisation under the non-profit organisation.

- In terms of certain statutes, for instance, the public finance management act 1 of
1999 and the public finance management amendment act 29 of 1999, only those
organisations that are registered as NOP can apply for the government funding.
- Some structures, like voluntary associations, provide for the legal status off an
organisation to be a separate legal person, which means that the organisation’s legal
identity is separate from that of its member and that:
 The assets belong to the organisation and not to its member
 The organisation as a legal person is responsible for the debts incurred. Members
or office bearers are therefore not liable for debts, unless they committed fraud
or were grossly negligent
 The organisation has perpetual succession, meaning that it continues even if
members or the office bearers leave.
- Registration as NOP compels as paralegal advice centre to adopt binding rules
governing the management and running of the organisation. This, in turn, provides
 greater clarity to the staff and management of the paralegal advice centre, the
community it serves, its funders and the businesses from which it purchases goods
and services.
- The financial intelligence centre act 38 of 2001 (FICA) has made NOP registration a
prerequisite for voluntary associations to open a banking account.
- Registration results in great accountability to the advice centre’s stakeholders,
including the community it serves, funders and the government. Accountability
necessarily instils greater trust in the ability and willingness of the centre’s
management to run the organisation according to recognised management
principles.
