BQSystems, developed by AQRate, is an online EME tool that guides accounting officers through the process of issuing an EME certificate.
We were invited by the Dti to be one of the 9 founding members of the Association of BEE Verification Agencies.
We have the ideal audit, legal and commercial skills set that make us the preferred verification agency for a multitude of JSE listed and other large corporate businesses, most notably in the Insurance, Mining, Oil, Liquor, Food, Motor and Construction Industries.
The high standard of work ethic and professionalism at AQRate Western Cape is commendable.
We were also the first national verification agency to be approved by IRBA.This national presence affords AQRate the market presence associated with a true market leader and national player.
in 2005.

AQRate is a group of private companies that strives to be the market leader in terms of service, quality, innovation and operational expertise. We were established in 2003 to meet the corporate sector’s need for a credible empowerment rating agency with national representation. We have a proud history in the industry, having been one of the founding members of Association of BEE Verification Agencies (ABVA). Our national presence affords us the market presence associated with a true market leader. The maintenance of this dual accreditation approval status talks to our commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and ethicacy. AQRate has distinguished itself as a leader in the verification of large corporate and listed entities and are regularly sub-contracted by the other accredited verification agencies. As such we have also been engaged by the JSE to oversee the methodology in the analysis of the black ownership in the Top 100 listed companies on the JSE. As part of phase 2 of this project AQRate have been tasked with verifying the methodology and findings of a pioneering study into the black ownership of mandated investments in South Africa. AQRate has also been commissioned to assist with the drafting of some of the sector codes and amendments thereto. The BEE Calculator App is an innovative, easy-to-user calculator which allows you to establish your B-BBEE score from your phone, tablet or computer. You now only need an Affidavit to confirm your business' annual turnover and black ownership status if you are an EME. Compiling an Affidavit for BEE purposes is however not always as straightforward as it seems. As a leader in the industry with respect to verification, we are very happy and satisfied with the service we have received from AQRate. They provide us with a clear verification plan and a complete list of activities to take place during the verification.
