Audit & Assurance In Ghana: Context & Challenges

Audit & Assurance in Ghana operates within a statutory framework that includes the Companies Act, 2019 (Act 992), sectoral regulator guidance and professional standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana (ICAG). The legal and regulatory environment emphasises statutory audits for many companies, adoption of international auditing standards and clear independence and competence requirements for auditors. Common challenges for businesses include evolving tax and reporting rules, strengthening corporate governance, and meeting the documentation and systems standards required by auditors and regulators. Specialist advisory ensures clients understand regulatory duties and are audit‑ready.

Richard’s background combining chartered accounting qualifications, tax practice credentials and systems implementation experience — equips clients to manage these risks and to present timely, compliant financial information to auditors, tax authorities and investors. This multidisciplinary perspective helps organisations navigate Ghana’s regulatory framework efficiently.
