Doftwerks West Africa Limited, the technology subsidiary of Stransact Chartered Accountants, has secured dual accreditation from the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) as both a Systems Integrator (SI) and Access Point Provider (APP) under the Federal Government’s mandatory e-invoicing programme.
The achievement positions the company among a select group of operators playing a strategic role in Nigeria’s evolving digital tax ecosystem. Furthermore, the accreditation underscores the growing importance of technology-driven solutions in strengthening tax administration, improving compliance, and enhancing transparency across the nation’s economy.
As Nigeria accelerates its digital transformation agenda, the development represents another significant step towards modernising revenue collection systems and building a more efficient tax administration framework.
Supporting the Federal Government’s Digital Tax Vision
The Federal Government’s e-invoicing initiative forms part of broader efforts to digitise public services, improve revenue management, and align Nigeria’s tax processes with global best practices.
Through the programme, businesses will be able to generate, validate, transmit, and manage invoices electronically, thereby improving efficiency and reducing administrative bottlenecks.
Moreover, digital invoicing helps strengthen transparency by creating verifiable transaction records that support tax compliance and reduce opportunities for fraud.
Consequently, accredited operators such as Doftwerks are expected to play a critical role in facilitating the successful implementation of the initiative.
Dual Accreditation Reflects Technical Capability
By obtaining accreditation as both a Systems Integrator and an Access Point Provider, Doftwerks has demonstrated its capacity to provide comprehensive technological support within the e-invoicing ecosystem.
As a Systems Integrator, the company can connect businesses’ existing enterprise systems to the national e-invoicing platform. Meanwhile, its role as an Access Point Provider enables it to facilitate the secure exchange and transmission of invoice data within the framework established by the government.
Furthermore, the dual designation allows the company to offer end-to-end services that support businesses as they transition to digital invoicing processes.
The accreditation therefore reflects confidence in the firm’s technological expertise, infrastructure, and operational readiness.
Driving Innovation in Tax Administration
Technology continues to transform tax administration around the world, and Nigeria is increasingly embracing digital solutions to improve efficiency and accountability.
Electronic invoicing offers significant advantages, including faster transaction processing, improved record management, enhanced compliance monitoring, and greater transparency.
Moreover, digital tax systems help governments strengthen revenue collection while reducing administrative costs and operational inefficiencies.
The participation of technology firms such as Doftwerks contributes to the development of a robust digital infrastructure capable of supporting these objectives.
Benefits for Businesses and the Economy
The adoption of e-invoicing is expected to deliver substantial benefits for businesses operating across various sectors of the economy.
Digital invoicing simplifies documentation processes, improves accuracy, reduces paperwork, and enhances operational efficiency.
Furthermore, automated systems enable businesses to maintain better financial records while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
As more organisations embrace digital solutions, the broader economy stands to benefit from increased transparency, improved business processes, and stronger confidence in the tax system.
Advancing Nigeria’s Digital Transformation Agenda
The accreditation of Doftwerks aligns with ongoing national efforts to leverage technology as a catalyst for economic growth and institutional reform.
Digital transformation remains central to the government’s vision of building efficient public institutions, enhancing service delivery, and promoting innovation-driven development.
Moreover, partnerships between government agencies and technology providers continue to play an important role in accelerating the adoption of digital solutions across critical sectors.
Such collaborations help create a more modern, competitive, and resilient economy.
A New Era for Digital Tax Administration
The dual accreditation granted to Doftwerks West Africa Limited marks an important milestone in Nigeria’s journey towards a fully digitised tax administration system.
Furthermore, it highlights the growing role of indigenous technology companies in supporting national development objectives through innovation and technical expertise.
As the Federal Government continues to implement its mandatory e-invoicing programme, accredited operators will remain essential partners in ensuring successful adoption and long-term sustainability.
Therefore, Doftwerks’ achievement not only strengthens its position within the emerging digital tax ecosystem but also contributes to the broader goal of building a transparent, efficient, and technology-driven revenue administration framework for Nigeria.
