Achimota, Accra — Chartered Accountants & Tax Practitioners
A firm of Chartered Accountants and Chartered Tax Practitioners offering audit and assurance, tax consultancy and business advisory services — and explaining what the numbers mean while there is still time to act.
Tax consultancy — corporate, personal and V.A.T.
Computations, filings and the correspondence that follows them — including GRA audits and objections. We write the position down before it is challenged, not after.
Business advisory — Tema, Takoradi and the corridor between
Systems reviews, working-capital work and the management information a board can actually steer by — the part of the relationship that begins once the opinion has been signed.
Achimota, Accra — engagement planning
01 — The firm
Ghanaian business has outgrown the compliance-only audit. Lenders want evidence. Regulators want traceability. Boards want somebody who will say the uncomfortable thing early, while it is still cheap to fix.
EA Associates Ghana is a firm of Chartered Accountants and Chartered Tax Practitioners registered in Ghana under the Incorporated Private Partnership Act, 1962 (Act 152) and authorised by the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana. Our aim is straightforward: provide quality guidance, build relationships of trust, and stay close enough to your business to be useful between year-ends.
02 — Services
Audits provide essential transparency and accountability, and are useful to businesses of all shapes and sizes. Conducted under International Standards on Auditing, with an opinion your lenders and regulators can rely on.
Our outsourced client accounting services save small and medium-sized businesses the cost and hassle of organising and supervising an in-house accounting team.
Tax laws are complicated and ever-changing. Our Chartered Tax Practitioners keep you current on VAT, corporate tax, withholding and transfer pricing — filed on time and structured to survive a GRA review.
Payroll is a critical business function, and carried out poorly it damages staff morale and creates problems with the Ghana Revenue Authority. We run it end to end: PAYE, SSNIT tiers 1 and 2, statutory returns and confidential payslips.
Budgeted financial statements setting out the expected financial results, position and cash flows of the business — the document your bank asks for, prepared so it holds up when they interrogate it.
We help organisations work smarter and grow faster. We consult with our clients to build effective organisations, innovate and grow, reduce costs and manage the decisions that sit behind the numbers.
Co-sourced internal audit functions, risk registers a board can actually use, and control testing on a rolling cycle rather than one anxious fortnight a year.
Financial and tax due diligence, valuations and quality-of-earnings analysis for acquirers, funds and development partners entering the Ghanaian market.
Fraud investigation, asset tracing and expert reporting — discreet, evidenced, and fit to put in front of a court or a board.
03 — Substantive testing
Year-end inventory counts, asset verification and cut-off testing on your floor, not from a spreadsheet emailed to us in January. Where the records allow it we test the full population rather than a sample.
04 — Sectors
Sector knowledge is the difference between an audit that costs you a quarter and one that closes on time. These are the industries where our teams already know the regulator, the ledger and the failure modes.
05 — Data-led audit
We extract straight from your ERP and test the whole ledger — duplicate payments, weekend postings, round-sum journals, users posting outside their own approval limits. Exceptions come back ranked, with the entries attached.
06 — Approach
We map the entity, the controls and the places a material misstatement could actually hide — before a single sample is drawn.
Controls testing and walkthroughs early in the year, so year-end is confirmation rather than discovery.
Data-led testing across the full population where the records allow it, with a weekly status note to your finance director.
An independent partner review, then a report your board can act on — findings ranked by what they will cost you if ignored.
07 — Reporting
Not four hundred pages of restated policy. Findings ranked by what they will cost you if ignored, each with an owner, a due date and the control that failed — so the audit committee can work the list, not decode it.
“To provide quality guidance, build relationships of trust, and develop personal relationships with our clients.”
