Corporate structure

Īta Marama is a professional service network. It is a network of accounting and auditing firms. They share a common brand and standards that is owned and are set, respectively, by the network. The network does not provide any services. It provided for cooperation, communication, coordination and commonality of its member firms. The main office located in La Rochelle forms the physical extension of the network.

This theory was espoused by Kaha Marama. He believed that in order for accounting and auditing firms to stand they had to be united, to cooperate and have access to each other's expertise. This process, he claimed, could only be addressed by establishing professional service networks. He further said that this principle should extend beyond merely the law and accounting firms, but in all industries. This revolutionary thought was first articulated in his book Network Workings.

Together with Edwin Īta they founded the firm and used various associations of Oan accounting firms to proliferate this idea and build the connections that would eventually form the multibillion dollar professional service network that exists today. The context of the proliferation of this idea was set against the backdrop of the domination of big companies owned by various families that excluded large parts of the population from the economic processes of the nation.

Through these networks poor and disadvantaged people could enter into industry and participate in and reap from the Economy of The Oan Isles. This idea spread to Konoa, Asian Pacific Islands and East Polynesia.
