The client challenge

Kibo initially approached Nexia’s South African member firm, Nexia SAB&T, to assist with reporting accountant projects in the United Kingdom, Tanzania and Canada. Following the successful delivery of the project, Kibo appointed Nexia SAB&T for the provision of external audit services, utilising Nexia member firms.

The Nexia solution

Nexia SAB&T worked closely with Kibo to resolve the challenges presented as a result of the complex nature of the Group and a decentralised accounting structure. Detailed audit plans that observed local and global financial reporting frameworks, laws and regulations alongside timely communication with all member firms working with Kibo was critical to co-ordinate audit efforts across multinational locations and to avoid duplication of work.

“The value of our customised solution provided Kibo with a streamlined audit approach and cost effective and efficient delivery of the audit. The complexity of the engagement originated from the multinational locations in which the Group operates. Our personal approach, through a single point of contact, ensured that we worked as a cohesive team and improved quality control, achieving Kibo’s goals.”
