The audit is one of the most important mechanisms in the governance of any organisation. An independent, well-conducted audit provides directors, shareholders, creditors, and regulators with reasonable assurance that an entity's financial statements present a true and fair view of its affairs.

At Joe Adinma & Co., we conduct statutory audits using a risk-based approach informed by International Standards on Auditing as adopted in Nigeria by the Financial Reporting Council. We form our opinions independently — on the basis of the evidence we gather, the controls we test, and the financial statements we examine.

The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 — which came into force on 1 January 2026 — represents the most significant restructuring of Nigeria's tax framework in a generation. The Federal Inland Revenue Service has been replaced by the Nigeria Revenue Service. The implications for most Nigerian businesses are material.

At Joe Adinma & Co., our tax practice is founded on a precise, well-documented approach to compliance. We do not prepare returns that we cannot defend. When we advise clients on a tax position, we advise on what the law says, not on what they would prefer it to say.

Financial irregularities within an organisation create a specific set of problems. They need to be investigated thoroughly and objectively. Their nature and quantum need to be established on the basis of evidence.

At Joe Adinma & Co., forensic accounting engagements are conducted with the same rigour we apply to our audit work — but with a sharper focus on identifying the specific transactions, patterns, and behaviours that constitute the irregularity under investigation. Our findings are supported by evidence, not inference.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards is a technical undertaking. It requires the correct identification and application of the relevant standards, the exercise of judgment in areas of estimation and uncertainty, and disclosures that communicate the substance of the entity's financial position and performance.

Joe Adinma & Co. provides this capacity externally, working closely with client management to produce statements that are accurate, well-disclosed, and defensible under scrutiny.

Many businesses — particularly growing companies and owner-managed enterprises — need reliable, technically sound accounting support that goes beyond the production of year-end financial statements.

Joe Adinma & Co. provides ongoing accounting and advisory support across Rivers State and beyond — maintaining records, preparing management accounts, and providing the financial analysis needed to manage a business effectively.
