- EME and QSE scorecards for companies scored under the following Sector codes:

– Transport

2. False or Fraudulent certificates
We are seeing B-BBEE certificates issued under the incorrect codes, mainly affidavits being supplied when a certificate is still required. Added to this, we still see a number of fraudulent/false/invalid certificates being supplied by companies.
Our clients accept these certificates in good faith, but they can cause problems at the verification. If you have questions on any certificates, please scan and email to Charlene or me (our emails are shown below). We can review and determine if the certificates are valid, invalid or if they require further investigation. A call to the Verification Agency can answer such questions too.
