About the Firm
Four decades of professional judgment
ICAN and ACCA affiliated professional services firm serving Nigerian businesses with the highest standards of audit, accounting, and advisory since 1984.
Our Story
Built on professional independence
Olusola Adekanola & Co was established in 1984 with a founding purpose that remains unchanged: to provide Nigerian organisations with genuinely independent professional services — audit, accounting, and advisory that can be relied upon without reservation.
Over four decades, the firm has grown its capabilities and deepened its sector expertise while maintaining the professional discipline and independence that define its reputation. Our affiliations with ICAN and ACCA are not decorative — they are structural commitments to professional standards that govern every engagement we undertake.
Today, Olusola Adekanola & Co operates as the professional and assurance foundation of the OA Group — bringing institutional credibility and technical depth to the group's integrated business ecosystem while maintaining full professional independence in all assurance matters.

Our Values
The principles that govern every engagement
Independence
Our audit and assurance opinions are uninfluenced by client pressure, commercial incentive, or relationship. Independence is not a policy — it is the professional condition that makes our work meaningful.
Accuracy
Financial statements, audit reports, and tax computations produced by this firm are accurate. Not approximately accurate. Not accurate within acceptable range. Accurate — because our clients, their stakeholders, and regulators depend on it.
Confidentiality
Client information is protected with the same rigour we bring to our professional opinions. Every member of this firm operates under professional obligations of confidentiality that extend beyond the engagement.
Professional Judgment
Forty years of practice means we have encountered the ambiguous, the complex, and the unprecedented. Our value is not in applying rules mechanically — it is in exercising the judgment that experience builds.
Integrity
We do not tell clients what they want to hear. We tell them what they need to know. This is not comfortable for everyone — but it is the only basis on which a professional services relationship has lasting value.
Standards
All engagements are conducted in accordance with applicable professional standards — ICAN, ACCA, ISA, IFRS, and Nigerian regulatory frameworks. Standards are not a compliance exercise; they are the minimum floor we operate above.
Credentials
Governed by professional obligation
Our professional affiliations are the institutional framework within which every engagement operates. They are not marketing claims — they are the ethical and technical standards to which our work is held accountable.
