The discipline

The founding discipline, taught by people who practise it.

SMI was born inside a chartered accountancy practice, and this discipline still carries that mark. Revised SYSCOHADA standards, Senegalese tax law and audit are taught by qualified chartered accountants working on files drawn from their own engagements. You leave with entries you can actually post, financial statements you can read, and internal controls you know how to question.
