The African Centre for Competitive Intelligence (ACCI) launched its online training courses to the benefit of the Mauritian groups Axys and Trimetys on 19 March 2020 in Port Louis. Developed by Guy Gweth, tested and approved by senior professionals, the five intensive and certified e-programmes are designed to support the strategy of African companies in perfect security, alertness and competitiveness.
The first: e-AMMI = Africa Market Monitoring and Intelligence. It provides the keys to monitor your business sector in Africa 24/7: from legislation to competition, including new entrants, prices, mergers, acquisitions or potential bankruptcies. What makes ACCI’s unique added value is the combination of electronic monitoring and human intelligence.
The second: e-IPDA = Influence of Public Decision-Making in Africa. It equips and sharpensthe capacity of companies to escape market standards and to co-produce them. This is because the current international economic war is above all normative.
The third: e-EIDDA = Economic Intelligence and Due Diligence in Africa. It enables companies to protect themselves from any risk of fraud and/or damage to their reputation in markets, where the implication of public officials and politically exposed personalities in business, corruption, money laundering, legends and other forms of double accounting are faced with international sanctions, rendered more ruthless by extraterritoriality.
The fourth: e-EMPC= Enhanced Methods and Practices for Compliance, provides the means for companies to keep abreast with the standards and best practices applicable to their activities. The ACCI contributes to transforming them from stress-generating points of tension into competitive vectors in a complex and/or hostile environment.
The fifth: e-OTIFA = Tools and Techniques for Financial Investigations in Africa, prevents companies from succumbing to organised crime, cybercrime, financing of terrorism, embezzlement of public funds, the informal economy or money laundering. Once again, African markets are unique.
