Finance team reviewing reports and audit documentation

Services

Audit & Assurance

Our audit team delivers rigorous financial examinations that strengthen stakeholder confidence, satisfy regulatory requirements, and uncover opportunities for improvement.

What we offer

Financial statement audit

We conduct independent audits of your financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and IFRS, providing the assurance banks, investors, and regulators require. Our approach combines risk-based testing with substantive procedures tailored to your industry and size. The outcome is a clear audit opinion supported by well-documented working papers and management letter points where improvements can be made.

External audit services

External audits are often mandated by lenders, shareholders, licensing authorities, or free zone regulators as a condition of doing business. We act as your independent auditor, examining financial records, internal controls, and disclosures to confirm they present a true and fair view. Our reports are accepted by UAE banks, government entities, and international stakeholders.

In-Country Value (ICV) certification

ICV certification is essential for companies bidding on ADNOC and other government contracts in the UAE. We calculate your ICV score based on qualifying local expenditure, Emirati headcount, and goods manufactured in the UAE. Our team prepares the certification application, supporting evidence, and coordinates with approved certifying bodies to maximise your score and maintain eligibility for supplier programmes.

Tax audit support

When the FTA selects your business for a corporate or VAT audit, timely and accurate responses are critical. We assist from the initial notification through document preparation, reconciliation of tax returns to accounting records, and representation during FTA meetings. Our goal is to resolve enquiries efficiently while protecting your position and minimising assessments or penalties.

Inventory & stock audit

Physical stock counts and valuation reviews confirm that your inventory records match what is actually on hand — essential for accurate financial reporting and loss prevention. We verify quantities, condition, ageing, and valuation methods against your accounting policies. Discrepancies are investigated and documented, giving management and auditors confidence in reported inventory balances.

Liquidation audit

Company liquidation requires a final set of accounts and an independent audit report confirming assets, liabilities, and distributions to shareholders or creditors. We prepare the closing financial statements, verify settlement of outstanding obligations, and issue the audit report required by licensing authorities and courts. Our work supports smooth deregistration with the relevant UAE free zone or mainland authority.

Free zone audit services

Each UAE free zone — DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC, Ajman Free Zone, and others — has specific audit requirements tied to licence renewal and regulatory compliance. We perform audits that meet your authority's format, deadline, and reporting standards. Our familiarity with free zone rules means faster turnaround and fewer resubmissions during the renewal cycle.

Due diligence reviews

Before acquiring a business or entering a major partnership, financial due diligence reveals the true state of the target's accounts, tax exposures, and working capital. We analyse historical financials, identify red flags, validate EBITDA adjustments, and assess contingent liabilities. Our reports give buyers and investors the information they need to negotiate confidently and structure deals appropriately.
