IFRS vs. SYSCOHADA: Key Differences and How to Navigate Both

Organizations in DRC — especially multinationals and NGOs — often maintain accounts under both SYSCOHADA and IFRS.

Key Differences:

Revenue Recognition:
- IFRS 15 uses a five-step model
- SYSCOHADA uses a simpler risk-and-reward approach

Leases:
- IFRS 16 capitalizes most leases
- SYSCOHADA has different threshold criteria

Financial Instruments:
- IFRS 9 requires fair value measurement
- SYSCOHADA generally uses historical cost
