Accounting Advisory
Reliable accounts are the foundation every other decision rests on. We help finance teams design compliant accounting policies, close their books to a defensible standard, and stand ready when a statutory auditor, a lender or an investor asks for the file behind the figures.
What we do for you
Accounting policy and SYSCOHADA compliance reviews
Diagnostic of your accounting manual and chart of accounts against the SYSCOHADA révisé framework, with a prioritised remediation plan.

Preparation or review of annual and interim financial statements, notes and disclosures, ready for board approval or filing.
Chart of accounts and accounting-system implementation
Design of the chart of accounts and posting logic for new entities or new ERP/accounting software deployments.
IFRS conversion and reporting support
Bridging SYSCOHADA accounts to IFRS for group consolidation, financing covenants or investor reporting.

Audit-readiness and liaison with statutory auditors

Frequently asked questions
Do you carry out statutory audits under the OHADA Uniform Act?
No. We do not perform statutory audits; where one is required, we work alongside your appointed independent auditor and prepare the file so the audit runs smoothly.
Can you help us convert SYSCOHADA accounts to IFRS for a parent company's consolidation?
Yes. We build the bridge between the SYSCOHADA révisé chart of accounts and IFRS presentation, documenting each reclassification and measurement adjustment so the conversion is auditable at both ends.
