ONECCA Cameroun

What ONECCA Cameroun does

ONECCA Cameroun (Ordre National des Experts-Comptables du Cameroun) is the statutory regulatory body for the chartered accounting profession in Cameroon, established by law N° 85/11 of December 11, 1985, and operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance. The organization licenses, disciplines, and sets professional and ethical standards for chartered accountants and accounting firms practicing in Cameroon, with statutory authority to authorize statutory audits under the OHADA framework. It serves approximately 400 members nationwide, with a stated target of 1,000 members by 2028.

Its service portfolio spans four pillars: (1) regulatory and licensing functions including professional standards enforcement, quality control visits, and disciplinary procedures; (2) initial and continuing professional education through the Centre ONECCA-INTEC (a joint training center with INTEC France offering DGC, DSGC, Licence CCA, Master CCA, and Certificate of Specialization programs); (3) member services including the myONECCA portal, a publicly searchable online member directory, the MSP (Mutuelle de Solidarité Professionnelle) mutual fund launched April 2026, ONECCA TV video platform, and Business Talk networking; and (4) documentation and standardization including OHADA/CEMAC regulations, IFAC/FIDEF frameworks, and anti-money laundering training delivered with ANIF and GIZ.

The underlying technology consists of a member management system, a member portal (myONECCA) at a dedicated IP address, an online member directory searchable by name, region, city, specialty, or registration number, and the ONECCA TV video platform. As a non-profit professional order, ONECCA does not have shareholders or external investors; it is governed by a Council of the Order led by President David Fotso, with revenue derived from member contributions, training fees, and mutual fund participation rather than commercial sales. The organization maintains strategic affiliations with IFAC, FIDEF, CSONEC (the CEMAC regional council of national accounting orders), and INTEC France, and is involved in regional regulatory harmonization efforts across the six CEMAC member states.

Direct peers

• Ordre National des Experts-Comptables et Comptables Agréés du Congo (ONECCA Congo): Congo-Brazzaville's national accounting order, a fellow CSONEC member governing the accounting profession in a CEMAC state. Directly comparable as a regional Francophone peer with the same regulatory mandate.

• Ordre des Experts-Comptables (OEC) France: France's national order of chartered accountants and the historical model for ONECCA, given Cameroon's OHADA legal heritage and Francophone accounting tradition. Operates the same regulatory, training, and disciplinary functions over French experts-comptables.
• South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA): Statutory body regulating chartered accountants in South Africa, with comparable functions in licensing, continuing professional development, quality review, and member discipline. Comparable in operating model, though at a much larger scale than ONECCA.
