Of course, risk is the very essence of business, but given the growing complexity of the economic environment, the development of internal control and corporate governance issues, as well as increased demands for ethics and transparency, managing risk has become not only a vital necessity for the company, but also a legal obligation aimed at economic security.
The growing attention paid to legal risk management in particular, both from the point of view of corporate officers and the lawyers themselves, highlights the fact that legal risk management is now at the forefront of senior management’s expectations of them, in terms of performance.
The legal risks identified can be specifically codified to facilitate their mapping.
Ethics is seen as a subject that has no clearly defined boundaries and requires interaction and multidisciplinarity. The development and implementation of ethical standards and legal compliance in the workplace involves not only the company as a whole, but also those who benefit from its services.
Indeed, clients are also concerned by the ethical conduct and legal compliance of the procedures put in place within the company. The expression of their dissatisfaction, their denunciations of irregularities, the non-respect of contractual clauses, the poor quality of the services rendered to them or better, their congratulations for the execution of services when they correspond to their orders or meet their expectations, can be considered as a determining barometer in the processes of service quality management and continuous improvement.
For this reason, the implementation of a Code of Ethics and Legal Compliance cannot be considered as an end in itself. Rather, it is a step in a dynamic process that involves all the actors of the company (workers and employer), each one for what concerns him, whether he is a senior manager or a simple agent.
Consequently, given the responsibilities entrusted to them, the staff in service must be able to carry out their tasks with competence, professionalism, integrity and fairness, in particular, in compliance with the law and the principles of good governance.
Nowadays, companies are faced with new concerns that are not only economic, but also very strong social and societal ones. Therefore, in order to continue to exist, they must take them into consideration, i.e. demonstrate their Corporate Social Responsibility.
This demonstration requires not only taking into account the customer and the quality of the products/services delivered, through the respect of a quality approach (ISO 9001) by means of deliveries that regularly comply with customer requirements in order to increase customer satisfaction, but moreover, it also implies taking into account all the other stakeholders (civil society etc.).
Maintaining customer satisfaction is the result of a subtle and dynamic combination of several factors in an increasingly competitive environment. Among these factors are the leadership of corporate officers, the relevance of the strategy, the ability to manage resources and partnerships, the performance of processes and the ability of employees to cooperate and engage with each other.
Within the OHADA area, the debt recovery procedure is governed by the Uniform Act on simplified debt recovery procedures and enforcement procedures of 10 April 1998.
Indeed, whether it is amicable (without legal proceedings due to the company’s use of its own resources) or judicial (request to the judge of the district court to issue an order for payment), the debt collection procedure generates additional, uncompensated charges for the company, since the unpaid amount is not only a commercial risk for the company, but more of a financial risk.
Strengthening the know-how of your teams on the mechanisms and techniques of debt collection for companies, in the business environment within the OHADA space, will notably help to reduce the financial risks that would weigh on your cash flow, preserve your profitability and your good commercial relations with your customers.

The reform of public enterprises and public administrative establishments, enshrined in Law n°2017/011 of 12/07/2017 on the general status of public enterprises and Law n°2017/010 of 12/07/2017 on the general status of public establishments, would be one of the reasons that would have justified the express abrogation of Decree n°2004/275 of 24 September 2004 on the public procurement code hitherto in force in Cameroon.
Since the entry into force of this reform at the end of the transitional period, two bodies of law, the terms of which should be appropriated, now govern the procedures for the award and execution of public contracts in Cameroon. These are Decree No. 2018/355 of 12 June 2018 establishing the common rules applicable to the contracts of public enterprises and Decree No. 2018/366 of 20 June 2018 on the Public Procurement Code.
The good practice of these texts and especially the control of the outlines of their impact in the business environment in Cameroon, includes understanding the reforms of the current system of public procurement (management, enforcement of guarantees, …) or better, by mastering the workings of public procurement disputes.
The administrative decentralisation regime forms the basis for the development of decentralised local authorities.
Reforms of the legal and financial framework for the decentralised management of local authorities are intended to increase their management autonomy. The full exercise of this autonomy should therefore not come up against obstacles or brakes likely to foster misunderstanding, or even certain forms of conflict, in relations with the State.
