What We Do
Six practices, one point of contact
Compliance rarely arrives in one discipline at a time. A transaction raises tax questions, a tax question raises legal ones and all of it has to survive the audit. Our practices work together so you are not the one joining them up.
Audit and Assurance
Statutory and internal audits that test the accuracy of financial information and support transparency.

The mark of compliance
Ark is an approved ACCA employer and a full service firm registered to provide professional consulting, accounting, audit and assurance services in Tanzania. We have been independent and based in Tanzania since 2016.
Our position has not changed in that time: compliance from day one sets a business free from the cost of non compliance. Getting the routine right is what makes the difficult decisions affordable later.

Why Ark
Built around the compliance calendar
Most of what a business owes the authorities is predictable. It has a date, a form and a consequence for missing it. We organise our work around that calendar and keep the advisory conversations for the decisions that actually need one.
-
Compliance first
We start with what is due, when it is due and what is currently missing, before anything else.
-
One relationship, full coverage
Audit, tax, accounting, legal, IT audit and transaction support sit inside one firm and one conversation.
-
Professional standards
As an ACCA approved employer we hold our people to a recognised standard of development and practice.
-
Tanzanian regulation in practice
Statutory audits, tax filings and company administration are what we work with every week, not occasionally.
