Romaric MEGNIHA, Managing Director of AUDIT 404 CONSEILS
Young · ambitiousa firm focused on the future
A word from the Managing Director

Welcome to AUDIT 404 CONSEILS

We are delighted to welcome you to a firm born of a strong conviction: compliance must never be seen as a mere regulatory obligation, but as a genuine instrument of trust, performance and sustainability for organisations.

We are convinced that African companies need far more than one-off advice. They need partners able to understand their realities, anticipate their risks, structure their governance and support them through their transformations. That is precisely the purpose of AUDIT 404 CONSEILS.

Our firm has a clear ambition: to contribute to the emergence of African organisations that are better governed, more resilient and more aligned with international standards of excellence, while remaining deeply rooted in the realities of their environment.

Our team is young, and we fully embrace this identity. We see it as a strength: boldness, creativity, agility and the ability to rethink traditional approaches. But this energy goes hand in hand with a constant demand for rigour, method and professionalism. It is in this spirit that we develop innovative solutions, such as CONFORM'AREA, designed to make compliance more accessible, more structured and more operational.

Our ambition is to build, across the OHADA region and beyond, a leading firm in governance, compliance, risk management and organisational transformation. We do not intend to build this ambition alone: we want to build it with our clients, our partners and all those who share our vision of a more structured, more responsible and more competitive African economy.

At AUDIT 404 CONSEILS, we do not simply help organisations comply with the rules. We help them turn requirements into drivers of progress and trust.

Welcome to our world. Welcome to a new approach to consulting.
