IFRS 9 implementations across seven markets
About
Built here, for how institutions here are actually supervised.
We build the models, turn them into systems, and train the people who run them. Two production platforms, an advisory practice across seven disciplines, and an academy — with more than seventy engagements delivered at 51 institutions in nine markets.
Our story
Built for institutions here.
Acculeap Analytics was founded on a straightforward observation: the global advisory firms did not understand the data, the regulatory environment or the technological reality of financial institutions in this region. Methodologies designed for banks an order of magnitude larger arrived with scope, cost and implementation timelines to match, and the calibration to local supervisory expectations was left to the institution.
We set out to do the same technical work to the same standard, built for the institutions that are actually here — and then to put it into software so it could be run rather than rebuilt.

How we work
Four values
Precision
Models, reports and code are reviewed to the standard they will be challenged at, not the standard that gets them delivered.
Partnership
We work inside your team rather than alongside it, which is the only way the methodology ends up understood as well as documented.
Velocity
Delivery in weeks rather than quarters. Six to eight weeks to a live platform.
Transfer
Documentation and training so your team owns what we built. An engagement that leaves no capability behind has not finished.
We do not mark our own homework.
We build models, we sell a platform that runs them, and we perform independent model validation. Those three activities together create a self-review risk, so we govern it explicitly: we do not review or validate our own models. Where we have performed a validation, the model was designed by another vendor.
We would rather state this than be asked.
Our clients
Commercial banks, microfinance banks and institutions, SACCOs, consumer credit providers, insurers and reinsurers, a pension services group, a credit reference bureau, a wholesale lender and a central bank — fifteen types of institution in all.
We do not publish client names. The institutions we work with share their model methodologies, their portfolios and their supervisory correspondence with us, and that relationship is worth more than a logo wall.
Regulatory coverage
We work to the requirements of the Central Bank of Kenya and SASRA, the Bank of Uganda, the Bank of Tanzania, the National Bank of Rwanda, the Bank of Botswana and the Bank of Zambia.
The team
Our team combines actuaries, accountants, risk specialists and data engineers, with backgrounds in regional bank risk and finance functions and in technical accounting. Several are accredited IFRS 9 implementors; the team holds CPA, CFA, FRM and GARP sustainability credentials.
The people who maintain the credit logic in our platforms are the people who apply it in client engagements. That is deliberate, and it is unusual.
Coverage
Nine markets, two offices.
Two offices anchor delivery across East and Southern Africa and the Caribbean — with teams on site when projects require it.

Where we have no office, our teams travel to the client.
We do not claim a presence we do not have. Delivery in Uganda, Tanzania and our other markets is led from Nairobi and Kigali, with teams on site for the phases that require it.
