In findings related to resignations from companies and close corporations, it was noted that the process to effect resignations are not solely in the control of the person concerned. The procedures at Company and Intellectual Property Rights Organisation (CIPRO) require that signatures of other partners/membership/directors are required to finalise resignations. The consequence of this is that after an individual has resigned from a company or a close corporation they are dependent on other parties to effect the change. It is for this reason that Members have been given the benefit of the doubt, where they indicated that they have resigned.
