QUESTION 1
Musa, Amos, Sipho and Jimmy are directors of Khubo Limited. Jimmy was appointed as an
executive director of Khubo Limited three years ago under a five-year contract of employment
with the company. Musa has expressed his concerns to the board of directors that for the past
two financial years Jimmy has been failing to ensure the timely preparation and submission of the
company’s annual financial statements, and that Jimmy omitted to sign the annual financial
statements for the previous financial year as the authorised director, as required. Musa has also
informed the board of directors that, after joining Khubo Limited, Jimmy was removed as
chairperson of the board of trustees of the JF Pension Fund after he forged some documents and
withdrew R2 million from the JF Pension Fund’s bank account for his personal use. Advise Jimmy
