Keeping The Rising Cost of Compliance Certification Under Control
CCS has for years been at the forefront of driving business efficiencies within the compliance certification industry. Our innovative approach has made us better technically, quicker to respond and kept the cost of compliance certification steady for a very long time.
The extraordinary economic landscape of 2024 has seen numerous additional costs enter the market:
- Substantial cost increases to the JASANZ system and other accrediting services
- Substantial cost increases for use of the EESS database platform
- Increased cost to respond to New Zealand requirements, especially in relation to the review of NZ national variations
- Updating of CCS’ internal technology to match regulatory requirements and infrastructure
- Higher cost of insurances
- Increases in the cost of office space and utilities
- Increases in the remuneration of our team to keep pace with the cost of living
After a top-to-bottom review of our business we can happily conclude that we are amongst the most technologically advanced and cost efficient service providers in our sector.
Keeping in step with the industry as a whole and the landscape of rising costs across the board, we will be making some fair and reasonable adjustments to our service fees from January 2025. Our new pricing schedule will be published in early December.
These moderate fee increases will ensure we are able to continue to provide an ever more efficient, professional and responsive service for our highly valued clients in the years to come.
