Andile Tlhoaéle, Founder and CEO of Inforcomm Verification welcomes the decision by thedti to make it a mandatory requirement for verification agencies to be Level Three BEE compliant before becoming accredited. ‘I have been calling for this decision since the accreditation of the first verification agencies in 2009, the decision will go a long way in transforming the verification profession particularly the accounting profession with the inclusion of registered auditors approved by the Independent Regulatory Board of Auditors (IRBA) into verification, I believe it’s a professional integrity that those who check the status of compliance should also be compliant,’ says Tlhoaéle.
This decision has been long overdue since the accreditation of verification agencies by SANAS in 2009. Verification agencies have been given 12 months to comply or lose the license to verify.
The decision will ensure that all verification agencies abide by the rules of BEE which they have been verifying businesses for compliance without meeting any BEE obligations themselves.
It is the responsibility of every business wanting a BEE-rating certificate to employ the services of verification agencies that are level three compliant or above.
