The obligations every business in Ghana has to meet, with the next date for each one calculated from today. Nothing to download and nothing to maintain.

Audit readiness checklist

What to have ready before fieldwork opens, in the order an audit team will ask for it. Working through this before you appoint an auditor shortens the audit, and a shorter audit costs less.

In detail

What the Financial Health Check actually tells you

It is a lighter version of the diagnostic our partners run on paid engagements: the same five areas and the same maturity scale, self-assessed rather than tested by us. That is why it produces something you can act on before you have spoken to anyone.

Exposed Fragile Solid Resilient

You are placed at a maturity level against defined good practice, not ranked against other businesses.

Why there is no benchmark yet A peer comparison needs a credible comparative population, and we would rather say so than invent one. As responses accumulate we will publish segmented benchmarks where the sample and data quality justify them. Until then the result is measured against the framework, which is honest and still useful.

Accuracy

Who checks these, and how often

Every rate is traced to the legislation rather than copied from another calculator. Each tool names the Acts it works from, and is reviewed by the tax team before it is published.

These are tools, not advice They will get you to a number and to the right question. They will not tell you whether a treaty applies, whether an exemption has a basis, or whether your facts differ from the assumptions. On anything material, ask us.

If the answer surprised you

A number on a screen is not advice.

If a figure came out differently from what you expected, or the Health Check surfaced something you had not seen, that is worth thirty minutes. No charge, and you will get a straight answer about whether you have a problem.
