The Managing Partner of ECOVIS OUC Chartered Accountants, Andrew Uviase, has reaffirmed the firm’s commitment to supporting the Business Recovery and Insolvency Practitioners Association of Nigeria (BRIPAN) in advancing business recovery and ethical insolvency practice across the country.

Speaking while welcoming the President and Council Members of BRIPAN to the firm’s office in Lagos, Uviase commended the association’s leadership for its transformation agenda and contribution to national economic stability.

According to him, BRIPAN’s shift in emphasis from insolvency to business recovery reflects a forward-looking approach that aligns with modern economic realities.

“We are particularly pleased with the transformation of this great body from insolvency practitioners to an emphasis on business recovery — from an undertaker to a doctor that saves lives,” he said.

He noted that ECOVIS OUC shared BRIPAN’s values of excellence, integrity and continuous professional development. Uviase added that collaboration between firms like ECOVIS and professional associations such as BRIPAN was crucial to promoting best practices, knowledge sharing, and positive transformation within the industry.

“Today’s visit signifies not only the strengthening of the existing relationship between our firm and BRIPAN but also opens new avenues for partnership and mutual growth,” he stated.

He added: “We look forward to engaging conversations, learning from your wealth of experience and exploring opportunities to further advance our profession and deliver greater value to clients and the business community.”

Uviase expressed appreciation to the BRIPAN President and Council Members for honouring the firm with their visit, assuring ECOVIS OUC of its continued collaboration in promoting professional excellence and economic recovery in Nigeria.
