Doing more TGS Business in and with Africa: 

Working in Africa presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for CPA firms and international businesses, shaped by the continent’s diverse economic landscapes, regulatory environments, and market dynamics. 

• How can our professional service firms minimize problems facing business in the African continent?
  • Regulatory Complexity,
  • Political and Economic Instability,
  • Infrastructure Gaps,
  • Access to Finance,
  • Corruption,
  • Transparency and the (also a problem for many countries) Skilled Workforce Shortage. 

• …and how do we build on the opportunities available?
  • Africa is experiencing Rapid Economic Growth,
  • Africa has Emerging Markets and Consumer Base,
  • explosive Digital Transformation,
  • massive Resource Richness,
  • increasing Regional Integration (like the African Continental Free Trade Area) and
  • Sustainable Development. 

TGS have started to paint Africa orange and we are looking forward to getting you all involved with the task.
