Internal audit of a company in the UAE: preparing for inspections and assessing your own risk

Every company needs to check the accuracy of its reports and the state of its books from time to time. To make the audit more precise and objective, it makes sense to bring in outside experts.

We audit organizations in the UAE regardless of turnover or headcount. Our job is to minimize financial risk, help you fix errors in your paperwork, and avoid questions from the tax authorities, fines, and licence problems.

When should you order an internal audit of your organization?

An audit is worth running every few years as a preventive measure. Legislation changes over time, and your accounting team might accidentally miss an update and keep using outdated forms.

But it's especially important to get an internal audit when:

You're expecting an inspection from the FTA, the tax authority, MOHRE, or other government bodies
It's time to renew your operating licence
The shareholders or the company's structure have changed
You've changed or added a business activity and updated the licence
You're unsure your reporting is correct, or unsure about your accounting and HR staff
You've recently made significant staffing changes
You want to sell the business or hand over management

Running an independent internal check is a way to avoid disputes with government bodies and banks — and so keep a stable market position.

Frequently asked questions

A comprehensive analysis of accounting and tax reporting, checking contracts, salaries, visas and WPS, identifying discrepancies in the document flow, and a report with recommendations for fixing any errors found.
How often should an internal audit be done?
As a preventive measure, every few years, since legislation changes. It's also worth ordering an audit before an external inspection, a licence renewal, a change of shareholders, or a business sale.
How long does an audit take?
It depends on the volume of your books, the number of employees, and the state of your document flow. We'll give you an exact timeframe after a preliminary assessment of the scope.
What documents will be needed?
Accounting and tax reports, employment contracts, salary and WPS data, the trade licence, and incorporation documents. We'll confirm the exact list once we're familiar with the company's structure.
What if errors are found?
We prepare a report with recommendations for fixing each violation. If needed, we can take over restoring your books or handling your ongoing bookkeeping so the mistakes don't happen again.
Can the audit be done remotely?
Yes, we work with companies across the UAE fully online. Documents are shared through secure channels, and specialists are reachable by chat at every stage of the review.
