What is certification:
The certification process
determines ownership and control of a company. The company is
required to provide evidence of ownership and control by
minorities. There are many specific eligibility criteria for
certification.
In assessing ownership, investments by the minority owner are
important. Control includes both managerial and operational
control with technical knowledge of the firms' major areas of
work being an important component for assessing operational
control.
The steps to gain certification will include:
- The completion of an
application outlining the company history, financial and
administrative information
- A review/audit of the
supporting documents required to accompany the certification
application.
- An on-site visit
