ASISA: Transformation Fund should build on what is already working
The savings and investment industry says it supports transformation but warns that a proliferation of overlapping policy frameworks could undermine gains already achieved.

The savings and investment industry says it supports transformation but warns that a proliferation of overlapping policy frameworks could undermine gains already achieved.

Draft amendments to the B-BBEE Codes introduce the government’s proposed Transformation Fund into the compliance framework, reshaping enterprise development, procurement incentives, and scorecard calculations.

The extent of the reporting obligation is determined by the category under which an institution falls.

The Fund is intended to amplify, not replace, existing enterprise and supplier development mechanisms under the B-BBEE framework.

The High Court’s ruling emphasises the duty of directors to disclose conflicts of interest and highlights the importance of complying with corporate and B-BBEE laws.

Challenges remain with the representation of black people in executive director roles, ASISA’s latest transformation report shows.

Life offices and asset managers exceed B-BBEE ownership targets, but face hurdles with employment equity targets, ASISA report finds.
