Dickson Associates CPA: Certified Public Accountants accredited by ICPAR, ICPAU, RRA and BNR, serving institutions and enterprises across East Africa.
I spent my early career auditing institutions and finding the same things: weak records, missing minutes, controls that existed on paper. The audit was not the problem. The institution had never been built to pass one.
I founded Dickson Associates to work on both sides of that line: the statutory work a regulator requires, and the institutional building that makes the next audit uneventful. Today the firm operates with a wider East African professional team.

Where the compliance work lives. This site is where I write about the governance work behind it.
Statutory audit and assurance for SACCOs, MFIs, cooperatives, companies and NGOs.
Compliance, planning and representation.
Outsourced finance functions and reporting.
Governance, financial management and institutional strengthening.
Most clients come to one of us and end up working with both. A governance diagnostic reveals the accounting needs. An audit reveals the governance gaps. Because the relationship runs through me either way, nothing falls between the two.
Governance, board advisory, diagnostics, capability development and sector innovation.
