The organization of the seminar falls within the framework of the 30th anniversary of the Treaty (October 17, 1993 – October 17, 2023).

It is a “financial information organization system whose purpose is to present financial statements that reflect a true and fair view of the financial situation, performance and changes in the cash position of entities with a non-profit organization in order to meet the needs of all users of this information”. This accounting framework applies to associations, professional orders and similar entities and to development projects and similar. In addition to the Uniform Act relating to accounting law and financial information (AUDCIF), this text will make it possible to significantly improve the quality of the information produced within the OHADA space.

It will apply in the 17 States of the OHADA space from January 1, 2024 following the will of the OHADA legislator.
At the end of the 4 days of training in Cotonou, the participants should master the spirit of the Uniform Act to be able to better appropriate it; master the accounting system of non-profit entities applicable in the OHADA space; ensure the changeover to SYCEBNL on January 1, 2024 and produce reliable financial information that complies with the new SYCENBL regulations.

The acronym OHADA stands for Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa. Created by the Treaty of Port-Louis of October 17, 1993 (revised on October 17, 2008 in Quebec – Canada), OHADA is a full-fledged international organization, endowed with an international legal personality, which pursues a work of integration between the countries that are members (today 17 States: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Comoros, Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Mali, Niger, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Chad, Togo). Its objective is to facilitate trade and investment, guarantee the legal and judicial security of business activities. OHADA law is thus used to propel economic development and create a vast integrated market in order to make Africa a “pole of development”.
