This is the fourth edition of the book entitled, in former editions, Law of Succession: Student's Handbook and Introduction to the Law of Succession. The book is still primarily intended as a textbook for students in the law of succession. However, the nature of the book has changed to such an extent through its different editions that a more general title for this edition was considered justified.

Since the previous edition a number of important developments in the law of succession have taken place, especially through case law. These include the influence of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (particularly the Bill of Rights) on freedom of testation, the extension of the application of the Intestate Succession Act 81 of 1987 and the power of condonation of the court at the execution, amendment and revocation of wills. The fourth edition aims at reflecting these and also other developments in the law of succession.

Entrepreneurial law is a dynamic area that changes rapidly. With this edition of entrepreneurial law the authors aim at reflecting these changes. Although there were no major legislative changes to the companies’ act of 1973 or the close corporation Act of 1984, several minor, but significant changes were made to these two important pieces of legislation which are now reflected in this edition.

"Research Methods for Law" introduces undergraduate and postgraduate students to available methods of research -- legalistic, empirical, comparative and theoretical -- drawing on actual research projects as examples.

The rich mix of general lessons, theoretical engagement and practical examples will be of real value to students.

Hierdie uitgawe van Hockly se insolvensiereg volg die uitgebreide formaat van die vorige twee uitgawes, en die basiese doel daarvan bly dieselfde - om 'n beknopte, maar nogtans redelik gedetailleerde, weergawe van die reg aangaande insolvensie, likwidasie, en geregtelike bestuur te gee. Die titels is vir 'n bree leserskring bestem - dit bring die vakspesialis gerieflik op hoogte van onlangse ontwikkelinge in insolvensie en likwidasie, en dit is ook 'n teks vir studente (op sowel voorgraadse as nagraadse vlak) en 'n gids of gerieflike naslaanwerk vir insolvensiepraktisyns. Insolvensie is 'n gebied waarin daar gedurig ontwikkelings in die regspraak en toepaslike wetgewing is. Ons het gepoog om al die veranderings in te sluit wat gedurende die vier jaar sedert die laaste uitgawe van Hockly se Insolvensiereg plaasgevind het. Die titel weerspieel die insolvensiereg soos aan die einde van Augustus 2006. Soos tevore bevat die bylaes voorbeelde van aansoeke, boedelrekenings en die Insolvensiewet. Kruisverwysings in die teks is na paragrawe, nie bladsye nie. Verwysings in die registers van wetgewing en van hofsake, en in die indeks, is na bladsye.

The ninth edition of this standard reference for students and practitioners has been completely revised and restructured in line with recent far-reaching global and local changes in the auditing profession. A newly introduced feature of the ninth edition of this classic text is the cross-referencing to Graded Tutorials on Auditing by Bourne et al. (see page 24). This link will ensure that the student of auditing will be able to integrate theory with practice and application.

Internal auditing - an integrated approach is designed primarily for students of internal auditing at an undergraduate and postgraduate level, intending to pursue a career in internal auditing, as well as those chartered accountants with a specialist interest in governance and control issues.

In addition the student will gain a knowledge and understanding of the nature of an organization as well as risk management and the role of internal auditing in managing organizational risks and understanding current developments in corporate governance in both the public and private sectors. It will also prove an invaluable aid to those studying for the Certified internal auditor professional qualification since it addresses the syllabus requirements of the Institute of internal auditors and the standards for the professional practice of internal auditing and competency framework for internal auditors. This title presents a practical integrated approach to the Institute of internal auditors' recommended Internal Audit approach, and may be implemented within an Internal Audit Department in a cost-effective manner. Accordingly the text may be useful as a reference manual for internal audits in practice.

Practical, relevant exercises with answers incorporating the latest information in respect of generally accepted accounting practice.

Most accounting examinations, whether at university or professional level, expect candidates to be conversant with the accounting requirements of international accounting standards (IAS, now known as IFRS) issued by the international accounting standards committee (IASC, now known as IASB). The main reason for this is the internationalisation of business operations, as a result of which, it has become increasingly necessary to harmonise international accounting practices. The other reason appears to be linked to an increasing world-wide use of international accounting standards. This title deals with the financial accounting techniques required to compile consolidated financial statements covering the operations of an enterprise that has a subsidiary or subsidiaries and/or associated companies under its control. These techniques are discussed and demonstrated in the light of the requirements of the relevant international accounting standards; these are IAS27, IFRS3 and IAS28.

Accounting literature often refers to procedural and conceptual approaches in the teaching of an introductory accounting course. This title integrates these two approaches in a pedagogical philosophy referred to as the concepts model. A strong emphasis is placed on understanding the conceptual framework, and especially on applying definitions of the elements of the financial statements. Readers are able to acquire a conceptual understanding of each topic before considering the procedural aspects. This title has been prepared for use on short courses in introductory accounting, both in the academic environment and in the corporate world. The focus of the title in on the accounting process which begins with the analysis of transactions (external), recording transactions in a journal, posting the journal entries to a ledger and preparing the trial balance. Further transactions (internal) are then recorded before preparing the post-adjustment trial balance followed by the preparation of the financial statements. The accounting process is concluded by the recording of closing entries.

This work contains most of the cases required for a study of the law of succession and is a very good aid for students who do not have access to the law reports.

Decisions up to June 2002 have been considered for inclusion. Hierdie werk bevat die meeste sake wat vir 'n studie van die erfreg nodig is en is 'n baie goeie hulpmiddel vir studente wat nie toegang tot die hofverslae het nie.

This guide to effective academic research covers all facets of the research process, from finding and defining a suitable topic, performing literature surveys, and conducting research to analyzing and disseminating the results. The subject is placed in the context of South Africa, where the university systems, funding bodies, and the country's research needs are different than those of Europeans and North Americans. The methodologies discussed include traditional modes of inquiry, research technology such as the Internet, and the role of oral tradition in the social sciences. Discussion questions and exercises are provided at the end of each section.
