Prior to 1 February 2010, accreditation with the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) was not a requirement for the conduction of B-BBEE verification services. GLADNEV Business Consulting Accountants as firm of professional service providers and
auditors thus provided B-BBEE verification services to a number of entities during the period 1 October 2007 – 1 February 2010. A strategic decision was taken to pursue SANAS accreditation as it appeared likely that Chartered Accountancy practices would not be able to obtain accreditation through IRBA and SAICA, of which GLADNEV Business Consulting Accountants is a member. This process has been greatly delayed; however, GLADNEV Business Consulting Accountants has used this
window period to focus on B-BBEE consultancy services. Among the consulting services GLADNEV Business Consulting Accountants is providing its clients the conduct of B-BBEE verification readiness-assessments and B-BBEE strategy developments.
