Your BEE scorecard is a vital tool which helps you do business in South Africa. Now-a-days most large corporations, general businesses and government will require a BEE Scorecard from you.

Introduction:

We are pleased to announce another exciting EconoBEE initiative to help assist companies and government understand and implement Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment. During this conference we will take you through developing a BEE Scorecard and helping you get the most out of your BEE Verification Journey.

Verification of your BEE scorecard is becoming mandatory. The dti has issued verification guidelines.

This valuable conference will tell you what you need to do in order to get the best possible scorecard from your verification agency. How to prepare for the verification so you save time and money in getting that verification produced, so that you are not unpleasantly surprised by a scorecard that is lower than you expected.

The Verification Agency guidelines issued by the dti explain exactly how a Verification Agency should operate, and how they will go about verifying your score. If you do not know how best to approach your Verification Agency, you may end up being very unhappy.

You may lose points.
How much does a bad verification cost you?
What happens if errors are made?
How much is an extra point or extra level worth to you?

Many companies spend weeks and even months trying to get a verification. In reality verification should take no longer than 1-2 days – if you are prepared.

We will tell you how to prepare, and how to save valuable time in dealing with your Verification Agency. We will show you how to make the verification process easy, for both you and your Verification Agency.
