Post date: Aug 21, 2014 8:34:41 AM

When members of the Stationery, Home and Office Products industry association (Shop-SA) in Gauteng gathered recently it was to focus on the issue of  POPI Act compliance. The related issue of ID theft and fraud was covered in a presentation by Doug Flint from Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS). Carol McLoughlin, Executive Director at SAFPS says "There's no doubt that the advent of the POPI Act has raised awareness of the importance of all aspects of Identity Theft and Fraud Prevention".

This event has been featured in the My Office Magazine, July 2014 edition. You can read the full story in the attached article below or click here to access the article on pages 34 and 35 of the online magazine. Of particular interest is the focus on Rexel Office Products and the way in which they have approached their preparation for compliance with the POPI Act, through the guidance provided by Dr Peter Tobin in his role as a consultant with IACT-Africa.
