Onecca Sénégal

What Onecca Sénégal does

Onecca Sénégal (Ordre National des Experts Comptables et des Comptables Agréés du Sénégal) is the sole statutory professional regulatory body for chartered accountants (Experts Comptables) and accredited accountants (Comptables Agréés) in Senegal, established under Loi n°2000-05 and headquartered in Dakar at Point E. The Order holds a legal monopoly over the inscription of accounting professionals on its Tableau, without which no individual or firm may certify financial statements, perform statutory audits, or exercise judicial expert mandates in Senegal. As of the 2022 Tableau it regulates 223 chartered accountants, 14 accredited accountants, and 136 firms including international networks such as Grant Thornton Sénégal, with an additional 18 chartered accountants from six UEMOA member countries inscribed under the free-movement regulation.

The Order's core services are statutory registration and quality oversight, continuing professional development, ethical enforcement, and anti-illegal-practice prosecution, delivered through annual oath ceremonies presided by the First President of the Dakar Court of Appeal, mandatory training workshops, and partnerships with DGID (tax authority), ARCOP (public procurement), CENTIF (AML/CFT), and the Cour des Comptes. It runs the FASE/CPPCF vocational certification programme (150+ initial learners) through partner universities (UCAO, US3T, ESP Dakar), co-funded by the World Bank and the Austrian government. The technology stack consists of a Wutiko-hosted website with an online member directory, electronic signature service, and illegal-practice reporting form; no proprietary platform or AI capability is described. The Order is also a leading member of IFAC, PAFA, ABWA, and FIDEF, with President Mor Dieng serving as ABWA President for 2024-2025 and Senegal selected to host ACOA 2027 in Dakar.

The revenue model is a hybrid of annual membership cotisations (dues set by the General Assembly each year) and professional-services fees, principally training workshop fees disclosed at 200,000 FCFA for ONECCA members and 250,000 FCFA for non-profit (EBNL) participants per 3-day workshop. Customer segments span chartered accountants, accredited accountants, interns, professional firms, public institutions, students/job seekers via FASE, and EBNL entities under the OHADA SYCEBNL framework. Commercial pricing is not published, consistent with a regulated body funded by member dues rather than transactional revenue.
