Our Reputation

In addition to our accreditation, we are also one of only nine entities that were invited by the department of trade and industry (Dti) to be a founding member of the Association of BEE Verification Agencies (ABVA) in 2005. Currently we have two board members elected to the ABVA board. Chris van Wyk is currently the technical director of ABVA, tasked with representing the verification industry in legal and interpretational matters at the Joint Technical Committee of Dti and ABVA. Brigitte Brun from our KZN office is currently the board member, tasked with Human Resource development in the verification industry as well as membership matters.

Our experience, professional expertise and specialised BEE knowledge have, in a relatively short space of time, gained us the respect of our peers in industry and in government. We have appeared as BEE experts on national television and have been published on several occasions in the national media as experts on the topic of BEE and BEE Verification. We are regularly consulted by various role players that partake in the development of sectoral transformation charters.
