Doftwerks W’Africa Achieves Dual NRS Accreditation as Systems Integrator

Doftwerks West Africa Limited, a technology firm and subsidiary of Stransact Chartered Accountants, has achieved a significant milestone by securing dual accreditation from the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS). The company is now recognized as both a Systems Integrator (SI) and an Access Point Provider (APP) under Nigeria's mandatory e-invoicing program. This dual status, granted within the NRS Merchant Buyer Solution (MBS) framework, empowers Doftwerks to deliver complete e-invoicing solutions to businesses across Nigeria.

These services encompass system integration, invoice transmission, real-time reporting to the NRS, and ongoing compliance management. The accreditation signifies Doftwerks' role in building the infrastructure for Nigeria's national transaction-reporting system. Eben Joels, CEO of Stransact Chartered Accountants, highlighted that this initiative moves beyond mere tax compliance, focusing instead on the foundational infrastructure for digital transactions.

For years, the conversation around tax compliance in Nigeria has been about obligations. What this accreditation represents is something different it is about infrastructure. Nigeria is building a national transaction-reporting system, and Doftwerks is now part of that infrastructure. The firms that understand this early and position themselves accordingly will define the next chapter of professional services in this country. We are not just helping businesses comply. We are helping build the architecture of Nigeria’s digital economy.

Doftwerks' Chief Technology Officer, Tunde Awopegba, emphasized the transformative nature of e-invoicing in Nigeria. He described it as a fundamental shift in how commercial transactions are documented, reported, and audited. Awopegba advised businesses to prepare proactively, warning that delaying adoption could lead to decisions made under pressure, potentially resulting in suboptimal outcomes. The company's dual accreditation positions it as a key player in shaping the future of professional services and the digital economy in Nigeria.

E-invoicing in Nigeria is not simply a tax administration project. It is a structural shift in how commercial transactions are documented, reported, and audited. The businesses that prepare early will have options. The businesses that delay will find themselves making decisions under pressure, and that rarely leads to the best outcomes.
