Audit and Assurance

We deliver high quality independent audits to build confidence in corporate reporting. Our partners and audit team are dedicated to the highest standards of independence, professional objectivity and technical excellence. Our audit teams are partner-led and we adopt a personal, hands-on approach to the relationship. All our audit experts use their sector specific knowledge to bring value to the process. Our clients include public interest entities, entrepreneurial and high growth businesses, global business companies, funds and pension funds.

Tax Compliance and Tax Advisory

We recognise how the corporate, business and personal taxation needs of our clients often overlap. For this reason, our tax practice is deliberately broad, with multidisciplinary experts in all aspects of corporation tax, employment incentives and rewards, income tax, real estate tax, and VAT, for companies, individuals and sociétés.

We are committed to offer our clients tax advice which is practical, relevant and cost effective. We provide assistance with tax planning, tax due diligence and specialist assistance in the Assessment Review Committee.

Our team of tax practitioners regularly advises on tax investigations and litigations. We know that most clients want to settle tax disputes without going in the Assessment Review Committee or in Court. Our specialist team has a vast experience of working with the tax authorities and secure the correct outcome in tax investigations and disputes at an early stage.

We will handle on our clients’ behalf, any dialogue or communication with the tax authorities including any disputes, ensuring that tax enquiries are avoided or concluded satisfactorily and that a good working relationship is established for the future.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance Services

Our independent law firm, KC Legal, provides bespoke and comprehensive legal advice to corporate clients. Combined with our tax expertise, our legal team regularly offers clients specialist assistance and legal representation in the Assessment Review Committee and in Court when dealing with tax disputes.

At KC Legal, much of the work we do involves acting for well-established family-owned businesses. We are frequently called upon to sit alongside owners or principals of family enterprises to guide and assist them in addressing the complex issues they face.

KC Legal offers all the legal services a family business may need. We are adept in providing assistance in preserving, growing and transferring wealth between generations and supporting the family where there are business disputes. We assist our clients with day-to-day operational activities, such as drafting agreements, and advise on the powers, duties and liabilities of directors.

The intensifying regulatory environment in Mauritius requires local businesses to play an increasingly active role in the prevention and detection of money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Non-compliance often leads to investigations by the regulators and sanctions may be applied.

Our regulatory consulting team has a broad experience in helping both regulated and unregulated entities and individuals understand and navigate the Anti-Money Laundering and the Combating of Terrorism (“AML/CFT”) rules and obligations. We regularly advise on systems and controls that businesses can adopt to meet their regulatory obligations, including the adoption and maintenance of appropriate risk assessments, customer due diligence, source of wealth and source funds checks, ongoing monitoring and the reporting of suspicious activities.

We provide assistance to our clients in complying with the provisions of the AML/CFT Regulations and have completed numerous independent AML/CFT audits of our regulated clients.
