Nedbank Corporate South Africa Form Setup Instructions

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.
