Accounting & Bookkeeping in Cameroon

Accounting & Bookkeeping in Cameroon

Why Professional Accounting Matters

Every company registered in Cameroon must maintain accounting records in accordance with the SYSCOHADA Révisé (the Uniform Act on Accounting applicable across 17 OHADA member states). Proper bookkeeping is not just a legal obligation — it is the foundation for accurate tax filing, informed decision-making, bank credit applications, and investor confidence. Non-compliance can result in penalties from the Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI), rejection of tax audits, and reputational damage.

• General ledger maintenance and journal entries • Accounts payable and accounts receivable tracking • Bank reconciliation and cash flow monitoring • Monthly, quarterly and annual financial statement preparation (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement) • Fixed asset registers and depreciation schedules • Payroll journal entries and social contributions (CNPS) recording • Preparation of the annual DSF (Déclaration Statistique et Fiscale) • Liaison with your statutory auditor during the annual audit • Migration from manual or legacy systems to digital accounting platforms
