PROFILE<br />
VeriFi<br />
VeriFi is the leader in the business of verification and<br />
certification for BBBEE recognition.<br />
<strong>South</strong> Africa requires an economy that can meet the<br />
needs of all its economic citizens, its people and their<br />
enterprises in a sustainable manner. Government’s<br />
objective is to achieve this vision of an adaptive<br />
economy characterised by growth, employment<br />
and equity. Achieving authentic BEE has required a<br />
reassessment of traditional business models and corporate<br />
cultures. The Bill, code and strategy document<br />
rely upon core policy instruments that have been<br />
designed to bring about BEE. These instruments are<br />
essentially measurement tools that will permit the<br />
public and private sectors to evaluate the BEE status<br />
of a particular enterprise. Failure to adapt to the new<br />
paradigm will have significant consequences. A real<br />
commitment to BEE is now a business imperative.<br />
Description of services<br />
• assess and certify BBBEE rating;<br />
• provide insight into BBBEE challenges facing<br />
various organisations;<br />
• provide insight and guidance on the actions<br />
required to elevate BBBEE status; and verification<br />
of supplier BBBEE status.<br />
With BBBEE recognised as an imperative by companies<br />
committed to building an equitable <strong>South</strong><br />
Africa, verification is an essential requirement that<br />
confirms a company’s participation and contribution.<br />
Verification is performed in a manner similar to<br />
that of a financial audit: it provides an independent<br />
assessment of investment, performance and initiatives<br />
in a control system. Criteria against which<br />
companies are measured are provided by government<br />
and like an audit, verification must be<br />
performed annually.<br />
Target markets<br />
Small, medium and large enterprises achieving<br />
an annual turnover of below R10-million and over<br />
R50-million respectively (including all charter<br />
sectors).<br />
Pricing<br />
Pricing for BEE consultancy services is based on<br />
the client’s requirements and can be structured<br />
on an hourly or monthly basis.<br />

Certificate, please contact the office for the<br />
current rates.<br />
