Accounting Review for UAE Businesses
Books Health Check · Tax Readiness · Corrections
An independent check of your books before a tax return, an audit, an investment or a sale. We check that your accounts are complete and correctly recorded, reconcile them to your bank statements and VAT returns, and tell you exactly what to fix before it turns into a penalty or an audit finding.
What's Included
What We Check
Completeness and reconciliations
We check that every bank account is reconciled, that sales and purchases are fully recorded, and that balances such as receivables, payables, loans and shareholder accounts are supported and make sense.
VAT returns against your books
We compare what you declared in your VAT returns with your accounts. Differences may mean an error that needs correcting, either in your next return or through a voluntary disclosure, which costs far less than an error the FTA finds.
Corporate Tax readiness
We flag items your Corporate Tax return will need to adjust, such as fines and penalties, entertainment expenses and payments to related parties and connected persons, and check that your records will support the return.
A clear report and fixes
You receive a written report listing each issue, why it matters and how to correct it. If you want, we then make the corrections and bring your books up to date.
What Errors Can Cost
VAT penalties shown are those in force from 14 April 2026 under Cabinet Decision No. 129 of 2025. Corporate Tax penalties follow Cabinet Decision No. 75 of 2023.
Transparent Pricing
* The fee depends on the period covered and the volume of transactions, and is confirmed after a free consultation. No hidden charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an accounting review the same as an audit?
No. An audit is carried out by an independent licensed auditor and ends with an audit opinion. Our review is a practical check of your books that finds errors and gaps and tells you how to fix them. It is often done before an audit so the audit goes smoothly.
When should I get an accounting review?
Before filing your first Corporate Tax return, before an audit, when changing accountants, before raising investment or selling the business, or whenever you're not confident your books are right.
What if you find an error in a VAT return?
If it changes the tax due by AED 10,000 or less, it can usually be corrected in your next return. Larger errors need a voluntary disclosure within 20 business days of becoming aware of them. We explain the right route and can prepare it for you.
What do you need from me?
Access to your accounting software or your ledgers, bank statements for the period, copies of your VAT returns and the main contracts and invoices. We send a full list after the consultation.
