elements. However, companies should guard against splitting a single
previous Enterprise Development contribution into the now separate
two sub-elements as the Amended Codes specifically make mention BEE
of the fact that Measured Entities will not get recognition for the same
activities undertaken under Supplier Development and Enterprise
Development, as they will only get recognition for one of the two.

If your previous enterprise development initiatives meet the
requirements discussed above, you should be able to continue
therewith whilst also simultaneously complying with the Enterprise
and Supplier Development element of the Amended Codes. However,
bear in mind that since the draft Verification Manual is not yet finalised
verification agencies may have conflicting interpretations in this regard
and therefore it is essential that you consult with an experienced BEE
consultant to advise you of the most appropriate management of your
current initiatives.
