We assist our clients in building agile and resilient organisations employing governance, risk and compliance tools and best practice.
Governance, risk and compliance principles have recently been articulated as an integrated collection of all capabilities to ensure that organisations reliably achieve objectives, address uncertainty and act with integrity.
Our advisory services in this field encompass several statutory and regulatory frameworks, global standards, territorial and extraterritorial anti-corruption laws, economic sanctions, fraud, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws as well as foreign investment regulations.
Corporate Governance
Corporate governance issues are uppermost in the minds of board members, executives, employees, investors, shareholders, communities and stakeholders today. The DJOUKAND&PARTNERS team assist our Cameroonian and multinational clients to navigate complex corporate governance codes applicable in Cameroon, develop and implement practices and procedures to avoid governance issues arising currently or in future. We also support clients who have suffered corporate governance failings and advise on the appropriate remedial steps to be taken.
We help our clients proactively implement effective programmes to address governance issues, regulatory matters and compliance issues, including ongoing disclosure requirements and filings, capital market activities, fiduciary duties and shareholder relations that all prescribe best practice.
Legal Risk Management
In order to manage, minimize and/or control the exposure of investment to and impact of risks that arise in the normal course of business, companies practice risk management. We work with our clients to develop effective risk management processes that align with good corporate governance as well as ethics and compliance best practices. We advise our clients on legal risks that may arise and provide the necessary legal support in their decisions to strategically accept and manage risks.
Compliance
For many years, our firm has assisted clients operating in highly regulated sectors in complying with heightened scrutiny and regulatory oversight, as well as to navigate the complexity of Cameroon’s legal and regulatory system. We also support clients in responding to regulatory inquiries and strengthening compliance measures, and in developing robust compliance programmes.
We guide our clients in developing compliance matrixes and by providing updates on a regular basis, they are best placed to stay in good standing with relevant regulations and regulatory agencies.
Consistent with the Firm’s general approach to the practice of law, the Team is able to address the needs of our clients in a practical, value-oriented and cost-effective manner.
