Public finances that are clearer, better controlled and easier to defend

We support public institutions and donor-funded programmes on what actually determines their credibility: the quality of financial information and the strength of controls.

What we help you solve

  • A move to accrual accounting started without a transition framework or a plan for opening balances.
  • Expenditure executed outside the control chain and identified far too late.
  • Programme financial reports rejected or repeatedly qualified.
  • Teams trained in one-off sessions, with no written procedures that survive staff turnover.

Capacity building

An engagement that ends with a report nobody can act on has not met its objective. We deliver written procedures, usable templates and training for the people already in post.

What we do

  • IPSAS readiness and implementation
  • Budgeting, treasury and expenditure controls
  • Public procurement and compliance reviews
  • State-owned enterprise governance
  • Institutional capacity building
  • Donor-programme financial management
  • Anti-corruption and accountability systems

Standards and regional context

Our work aligns with IPSAS, the WAEMU public finance directives, PEFA-style assessment frameworks and the specific requirements of the major institutional donors.

How we work

Discover

We frame the context, the risks and stakeholder expectations before proposing an approach.

Design

We build an approach proportionate to the real risk, not to a standard format.

Deliver

We carry out the work with documentation that stands up to third-party scrutiny.

Assure

We report clear conclusions, workable recommendations and an agreed follow-up.

Relevant industries
