Members of the NABC are practicing advisors, trainers, consultants or corporate practitioners dealing with all or some of the aspects of Transformation. We add and receive value in regular co-operation with our members, the policy-makers, Government, business and key industry stakeholders.

Background to the NABC
It is generally agreed that the process of equalising and integrating economic participation for all in South Africa is critically important.

• BEE Consultants

• Legal Advisors
• Investment Bankers
• Corporate BEE practitioners
• Corporate HR practitioners
• Procurement professionals
• Financial and/or Procurement Managers

The role of the NABC is to ensure that any queries around the legislation, its implementation or indeed its relevance for business, is understood, is theoretically and practically applicable and the access to ethical business standards and sound, up-to-date knowledge is the priority.

Our organisation has four pillars as its core purpose:

• Ethics and Discipline : our role includes ensuring that ethical business practise is at the forefront of our members’ approach to each other, to their customers and to the industry as a whole
• Professional Development : our role includes training and development for practitioners focused on the implementation of transformation; our Technical Committee supports this function through regular industry updates, commentary and clarification
• Networking and Events: regular industry events encourage access to information, to relevant, topical subject-matter experts and allow our members to market opportunities amongst their peers
• Industry collaboration: key to achieving knowledge and industry perspective is access to the stakeholders, the policy-maker, the industry bodies and the private and public sector to better understand the legislation and its practical implementation.

Through our regular engagement with the dti, our members are able to voice their concerns, their queries, their opinions and their commentary through a channelled structured communication platform. Our members are encouraged to lodge queries with us which we will formally table with the industry stakeholders on their behalf and we actively work to assist in our members in any of the challenges that they face in unfair practise, in intimidation and/or in misunderstanding that arise in delivering their work.
