Statutory Reporting
B-BBEE Compliance Reporting
Section 13G requires organs of state to report B-BBEE compliance annually to the Commission — a deadline that is easy to miss.
Why organs of state must report B-BBEE annually
Section 13G of the B-BBEE Act obliges organs of state and public entities to report annually on their broad-based black economic empowerment compliance to the B-BBEE Commission, covering how they applied empowerment in procurement, enterprise development and their own status. Late or absent reporting is a statutory non-compliance the AGSA notes, and it weakens the credibility of the entity's transformation reporting. AuditPro Core tracks the mandatory annual B-BBEE report against its deadline and content requirements so the obligation is met on time and on substance.

The Section 13G obligation
Public entities and organs of state must submit an annual compliance report to the B-BBEE Commission. The duty is statutory and applies regardless of the entity's own empowerment status.
What the report covers
It addresses the entity's empowerment performance, including how B-BBEE was applied in procurement and development initiatives, drawing on verified data rather than estimates.
Deadlines and timeliness
The report has a fixed annual submission window tied to the financial year-end. Missing it is a clean, datable non-compliance that needs no further interpretation.
Consistency with annual reporting
B-BBEE disclosures should align with the entity's annual report and verified scorecard, so that one document does not contradict another in front of the auditor.
How AuditPro Core Bridges the Gap
