The 2nd Annual SADC Security Forum Protecting Assets, Employees and Information Please find attached a copy of the agenda for Integrated Organisational Security. Why this forum With globalization, organisational security is an increasingly complex area of expertise; extending over information security, organized crime, industrial action,terrorism and fraud, to name a few. These threats are syndicated and highly organised making detection and management thereof more difficult. The relationship between the ways a company operates, and the risk portfolio has become interdependent. As a result of this, higher emphasis is now being placed on the importance of a well organised security profile. Organisations are seeking out new methods to manage their risks and threats; as a result security departments are revamping and improving their methods. No organisation is exempt from these threats due to the human element and condition. The amount of breaches that occur from within the nucleus of the organisation is too significant to ignore! This event is your platform to broach the topic in a holistic way and aims to develop the way organisational security is managed in your sphere. Why you should attend · Sharing of knowledge, experience and best practice in protecting your assets more effectively and managing the gaps in your portfolio. · Develop an effective security plan and policy · Understand the crucial role that security plays in the smooth running of all departments · Demonstrate organisational security as a cost enabler rather than an overhead. · Supporting the development of a professional and cutting edge security department within your organisation · Gain insight on how to improve and modernize your security policies and procedures · Promoting the practice of security and its application accross all departments · Creating an internal security culture that reflects on the bottom line · Exploring the benefits of a fully integrated organisational security system You should plan to attend if your portfolio covers Business Continuity & Recovery Services Internal Security Sergeant at Arms Protection Services Asset Protection Personel Protection Risk Management Operations Investigations Fraud Prevention Internet Security Information Security Human Resources Seating is limited so contact us now to confirm your participation.

The term Contract used in Engineering or Construction management can be defined as: "An agreement entered into by two parties under the terms of which one party agrees to perform a specific job for which the other party agrees to pay. Contract documents attached to and/or stated in the agreement form integral parts of the contract" Essentials of Contract Validity • The parties to the contract must be competent, and legally capable of playing their intended part. The law can not enforce the agreement on someone who has not the legal capacity to enter into an agreement. This could be due to infancy, lunacy, drunkenness, or being restricted from entering into such agreement by a prior in date agreement or scope of authority. • The subject matter of the contract must be lawful and definite in respect of requirements and duties of each party. For example a contract violating municipal regulation is not binding and is void in courts. • Proposal and acceptance: There must be a proper proposal by one party and its absolute and unqualified acceptance by the other party. The proposal is not binding without a clear acceptance and is not binding beyond its date of validity. • Free consent of parties to the contract: Consent is said to be free when it is not caused by force, or undue influence or fraud or misrepresentation.

Technical Writing for Engineering, Construction & Technicians is highly specific in what it aims to achieve, i.e. passing on information accurately, correctly etc. using understandable formatting to lead the user through the information. The field of technical writing covers a variety of areas of major value to any organisation. Some of these areas are: • The writing of technical reports using easy-to-follow formats and presentation. • The writing of proposals – from relatively easy to major proposals; formats remain the same, it is content that changes. • The writing of procedures that are focussed on the user and their understanding of the work to be done. • Creating presentations that work - correct use of colours, fonts, font sizes, graphics and displays etc. • The writing of Minutes of meetings and accompanying agendas. If the writer understands how to produce these documents and presentations clearly and with audiences targeted, the work of editing documentation should become part of the process of reporting information. Course Objectives: To explain and help attendees understand the structure of important engineering & technical documents as well as certain business documents, e.g. reports, proposals, procedures, letters, memo’s, e-mail, minutes of meetings etc., presentations To ensure understanding of why writing should be reader-centred and how to achieve this, and increase credibility - practical application.
