Following the adoption of the Uniform Act of January 26, 2017 on accounting law and financial reporting, the Council of Ministers adopted on June 8, 2017, the Regulation on the harmonization of practices of accounting and audit professional in OHADA Member States. In a bit to remedy the lack of legal provisions in most Member States justifying the application of international auditing standards, the Regulation also incorporates the following tools:

• A practical guide for the application of professional standards in OHADA space, Volume 1: Audit and statutory audit;
• A practical guide for the application of professional standards in OHADA space, Volume 2: other interventions by accounting professional;
• A code of ethics for accounting professionals in OHADA space;
• A Quality Assurance Manual.

The above tools were adopted by the OHADA Accounting Standardization Committee (CNC-OHADA) during its meeting held in Grand-Bassam (Côte d'Ivoire) on December 8, 2017. These tools, presented together with supporting documents to ease their understanding, may be freely downloaded online. Hopefully, digit professionals will make the best use of these instruments in order to improve their professional practise and apply the new accounting standards as best as possible.
