Our B-BBEE services include:
- Accredited B-BBEE verifications

- B-BBEE training
- Scorecard compilation
- Supplier analysis
- SED reports
- Scenario planning
- Consulting and strategy planning
Accredited B-BBEE verifications: We conduct a thorough audit of an entity’s B-BBEE scorecard to verify their contributions and/or performance in each of the 5 elements. This is much the same concept as an auditor auditing your financial statements, however with a different set of measurement criteria and rules. A certificate is the final product of this process.
Ownership verification services: We conduct a thorough audit of an entity’s Ownership scorecard. The certificate is useful for tender processes, sale of asset transactions and confirmation of economic interest and voting rights.
Private Equity fund verifications: In the financial sector, verification of a private equity fund (PEF) is conducted in order for an entity to use it as evidence in support of an ownership claim on their scorecard
B-BBEE training: Our technical experts around the country provide regular public training courses on which you can book a seat. Where there are a number of delegates requiring training, we can tailor in-house training programmes to suit your needs as a more affordable and targeted solution.
Scorecard compilation: We can compile a preliminary B-BBEE scorecard in preparation for verification or as part of one of our other services.
Supplier analysis: Assessing your suppliers in order to establish the overall B-BBEE procurement recognition benefit you can achieve from the procurement element can maximise your score.
SED reports: We can issue a verified report which can be used as part of documentary evidence towards the Socio-Economic Development (SED) indicator on the scorecard.
Scenario planning: Using your current scorecard as a benchmark or a year-to-date analysis, we can plot gaps in terms of where you are and where you would like to be and suggest various scenarios for you to achieve this.
Consulting and strategy planning: Our senior technical team can assist in defining specific strategies and helping you to implement these in your business in order to increase your scoring, keeping in mind return on investment.
Consulting must occur separately to verification, and we may not verify your scorecard for four years after we complete our consulting obligations to you, as we must remain impartial.
