The changing political and economic environment in Africa has resulted in heightened investor interest in the continent. In recognition of this we have established a communication network which enables our firm to provide service in 51 countries in Africa. Ernst & Young practices have co-operated in many cross border transactions and our clients know that they can expect the same dedicated level of service in African countries that they have become accustomed to in their home countries.
