What is this?
We've recently received some calls from clients on the FSTC (Financial Sector Transformation Council) reporting BBBEE communication sent out by the FSCA on behalf of the FSTC. See the original communication here. To be clear, the FSTC is not to be confused with the FSCA. Although this does not fall in the realm of FAIS compliance we thought it is a good idea to perhaps just summarise the requirements and application thereof. Usually the BEE components of a business is handled internally/with HR or accountants in consultation with Verification Agents (BEE Compliance Officers) if need be. The FSTC is mandated to obtain BBBEE statistical data from entities operating in the financial services sphere on their progress relating to BBBEE. They send out a request once a year for statistical data so they can compile their annual report on the progress of Financial Institutions with the Financial Sector BBBEE codes. Who does this apply to? The sectors/companies asked to report are:

How do I report if I need/want to?
FIs were requested to submit the full final verification reports, to the FSTC no later than the end of the business Friday, 05 June 2020. All reports are to be submitted electronically via email to reporting@fstc.org.za with the subject: FSTC 2018/19 Report– (name of entity). In the past, however, they did allow entities to still submit after this date, however we cannot guarantee this. Should an entity encounter difficulty in providing the above-requested information they should contact the FSTC at reporting@fstc.org.za, or call (011)838 6696 or get in touch with their respective Trade Associations for more clarity Any Penalties?
