David Copeland and Partners International is a group of professionals that are into accounting and advisory services across audit, tax, regulatory compliance, outsourcing, human resources, and corporate governance. The firm has a team that confronts daily challenges in a highly competitive and fast moving environment by assisting national and international clients to excel in their businesses. The firm has its footprints in major cities worldwide. The geographical network allows the partners to meet international needs of clients. The set-up of the firm allows each member firm to serve its local market independently and effectively. Due to global competition, the partnership is committed to attracting and developing talents in other locations in Africa with diverse workforce that brings innovation and foresight to clients. The firm decided to include in its business operations across the geographical network, insolvency and business recovery services, and have a practice office in Nigeria. Aside from having competent professionals, a major condition for firms in any country that wants to join the global network is the need to ensure a robust quality control review that supports International Standards on Quality Management (ISQM).
