LBM Consulting ltd to help you conduct statutory audits as per the requirements of the Kenyan laws.
LBM Associates is an audit firm registered in Kenya for purposes of carrying out statutory audits for our clients.
The formation of LBM Associates was informed by the legal restrictions barring auditors from limiting their liability.
It was for this reason that forming and registering a non-limited liability entity in the form of a partnership business
with several affiliated partners, became a legal necessity and a business strategy.
Currently the firm partners with a team of associates who have extensive practical experience in
assurance and advisory in the East African region having worked in several countries in the region. The
experience of the associates both in tax and assurance practice delivers value to the business
community. The synergy between our associates and staff and the commitment to personalized client service is a
