ABSA Private, Wealth and Retail Banking South Africa Form Setup Instructions
Please note that we have seen forms for one specific client being split between ABSA Private, ABSA and ABSA Business. The forms should either be sent to one of the departments. Kindly refer to the prior year's confirmation for the department that completed the forms before initiating your requests.
Depending on how information can be extracted from the bank systems, a form can be set up in 2 ways:
- Individual account basis
The bank can only extract form details on an individual account basis. Auditors will therefore need to set up each account number as a separate form of the form type. - Entity wide basis
The bank can extract form details on an entity-wide basis. Auditors can therefore send a single form of the form type using a main account number. As information is supplied on an entity-wide basis all other account numbers do NOT need to be supplied.
