Description de l'offre

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Cameroon is launching a call for tenders for the development of a SYCEBNL accounting software – WWF Cameroon.

Want to make a positive difference to the future of people and our one shared home the
Earth? Working with WWF could be the opportunity of a lifetime:
All around the world, people are waking up to the deepening crisis of nature loss. A growing realization that nature is our life-support system. Nobody will be spared from the impacts of its loss. Here at WWF, we are helping to tackle this enormous global challenge.
Our people come from hugely diverse backgrounds and with a variety of expertise, ranging from HR and finance to advocacy and conservation science. We welcome applications from anyone who believes they can help us create a better future for people and wildlife.
What we do:
We are an independent conservation organization, striving to sustain the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. From individuals and communities to businesses and government, we are part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to set nature on the path to recovery by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, stop the mass extinction of wildlife, and make the way we produce and consume sustainably.
We are launching a call for tenders for the development of a SYCEBNL accounting software – WWF Cameroon.
1. Context and justification
On December 21 and 22, 2022, during the 53rd session of the OHADA Council of Ministers held in Niamey (Niger), the Uniform Act relating to the Accounting System for Non-Profit Entities (SYSCEBNL) was unanimously adopted. This Act complements the Uniform Act on Accounting Law and Financial Information (AUDCIF) and aims to significantly improve the quality of financial information produced within the OHADA region.
SYSCEBNL is a financial information framework designed to produce financial statements that present a true and fair view of the financial position, performance, and cash flows of non-profit entities. It meets the needs of both internal and external users of such information. The adoption of SYSCEBNL establishes it as the mandatory accounting framework for associations, professional bodies, development projects, and similar entities.
This accounting framework came into force on January 1, 2024. Consequently, WWF, as a non-profit organization operating within the OHADA region, is legally required to implement SYSCEBNL to ensure compliance with its financial statements and statutory reporting.
In Cameroon, the application of OHADA accounting systems, including SYSCEBNL, is mandatory across the national territory. WWF, as a non-profit organization, is therefore legally required to implement SYSCEBNL to ensure compliance of its financial statements and tax filings.
To meet these obligations and ensure regular reporting, WWF is launching a consultation process to acquire an accounting and budget monitoring software solution.
