Scorecards
Enterprises may be rated based on various scorecards, however only the following have been gazetted as of February 2007:
- Generic Broad Based Scorecard
- Generic Narrow Based Scorecard
- Qualifying Small Enterprises Narrow Based Scorecard
- Qualifying Small Enterprises Broad Based Scorecard
- Financial Sector Scorecard
- Construction Sector Scorecard
The last two - Financial Sector scorecard and Construction Sector scorecard have not been passed into law. They were gazetted under section 12 of the act, which is for comment only. They will need to be gazetted in terms of section 9 of the act to become an official sector code. Until that happens all enterprises falling in these two industries are required to use the codes of good practice in producing a scorecard.
Significant leniency for Small Enterprises has been built into the gazetted codes. Based on the Qualifying Small Enterprises Codes, all companies with a turnover under R5 million p.a. is completely exempt from BEE and automatically qualifies as a level 4 contributor or achieves 100% BEE Contribution Recognition.

Famous quotes containing the word scorecards:
“Trying to love your children equally is a losing battle. Your children’s scorecards will never match your own. No matter how meticulously you measure and mete out your love and attention, and material gifts, it will never feel truly equal to your children. . . . Your children will need different things at different times, and true equality won’t really serve their different needs very well, anyway.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
