Should circumstances arise that prevent BBBEE Rating Agency from meeting this timeline, it will immediately be communicated with the measured entity.

Appeals

An appeals process is based on the outcome of a B-BBEE verification and on already reviewed evidence. No new evidence may be accepted.

Complaints
