Mr. Stanley Grau ABP Director, Technical MSCT BEE (Pty) Ltd |
Stanley obtained his BCOM in Chartered Marketing from the North West University, Potchefstroom Campus in 2010. In 2012 I obtained my Management and Development Programme (MDP) in Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment from UNISA. I entered the BEE verification industry in 2010 as a Verification Analyst. Since 2013 I have been the Managing Director of MSCT BEE Services which was initially part of the Moore Stephens Group between 2013 and 2018. In 2018 MSCT BEE Services became independent from the Moore Stephens Group and is now known as MSCT BEE Services (Making Significant Changes Together). I am still in the position of Managing Director. I have been a member of the Technical Committee at ABP from 2021 to date and if elected to the ABP board, the value that I am able to bring is my technical interpretation and application of the BEE Legislation. As a Managing Director of my own business, I am able to understand the implications of the BEE legislation on the operations of a business. Questions raised to ABP should be understood in what context the question is raised, this is in the form of assisting BEE Verifications Agencies, BEE Professionals (Consultants) and the needs of companies in general to assist in the consistent application of the legislation by meeting section 3 and section 2 of the BEE Act. | |
