The Firms Structure

The Practise comprise of the Managing Partner and a team of qualified, experienced and dedicated staff who assist in the day-to-day operations of the firm. Whereas the Managing Partner is responsible for the overall professional assignments, various duties are delegated and done by the different members of the technical team who are assigned duties matching their levels of competence and expertise.

In line with the International Standards on Auditing, the firm has implemented quality control policies and procedures, commensurate with its size and nature of its practise, designed to ensure that all professional services rendered to the clients are conducted in accordance with the international standards or relevant local standards and or practices.

Specifically the personnel in the firm are to adhere to the principles of independence, integrity, objectivity, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The managing Partner ensures that the professional work is assigned to personnel who have the degree of technical training, skills and proficiency required in the circumstances. Thus there is sufficient direction, supervision and review of work at all levels to provide reasonable assurance that the work performed meets appropriate standards of quality.

In line with the Accountants' Professional Ethics we undertake it as our duty to maintain a high level of professional competence through out our career and would not undertake or continue with professional work, which the firm is not competent to perform. To maintain objectivity and integrity the accountancy and audit work of the same client are performed by different personnel.
