1 A MAJOR ACTOR IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA

2 OUR PHILOSOPHY In the heart of a growing and moving Africa, CAC results from the willingness of women and men to build a renowned advisory firm to assist private operators, governments and international organisations carrying out their businesses, investments and development actions across Africa, supporting the view that business growth in Africa largely contributes to the construction of the continent. At CAC, we have believed for more than 25 years and remain convinced that Africa can realise itself as a continent capable of processing its own raw materials. With plentiful natural resources and a developing infrastructure, Africa is now in the process of benefiting from its huge potential. In the context of a stabilising business climate and positive reform of legal and tax frameworks, increasing levels of business and investment now embrace the African continent where many leading corporations, banks, private investors and non-governmental organisations are turning to us for advice. Our pan-african vision CAC Tax & Legal advises on matters in various countries of the Central African region, including: ABOUT US The firm CAC Tax & Legal is an African tax and legal advisory services firm of outstanding reputation based in the Central African region, which has developed a strong tax and legal expertise and considerable experience in the key business sectors over more than 25 years. CAC Tax & Legal is part of CAC Global, which provides a wide range of services including audit, financial advisory, human resources services and information systems management services. Cameroon Central African Republic Chad Congo Brazzaville Democratic Republic of Congo Equatorial Guinea Gabon On a case by case basis, we also advise on matters in other African countries. As a result of our recognised expertise in the African oil & gas, mining, as well as banking & finance industries, governments, international organisations and leading corporations have turned to CAC Tax & Legal for advice in Niger, Madagascar, Djibouti and Liberia.

Our consultants conduct assignments in accordance with international standards and have a unique understanding of Africa s cultural nuances and business specificities, together with hands-on experience of the African market place and of the operational issues across a wide range of industries. This ensures tailored-made high quality service, which makes CAC Tax & Legal s offer unique. The language skills among the team include English and French. OUR SERVICES CAC Tax &Legal s consultants have a perfect knowledge of the legal, tax, regulatory and institutional environment of the African countries where they advise, most of which are OHADA members.
