Uncover VAT Gaps Before the Authorities Do. Strengthen Your Compliance Foundation.

A VAT Compliance Audit is a proactive, internal assessment of your VAT systems, filings,
and procedures to ensure full compliance with UAE VAT laws. While the FTA may audit
businesses at any time, a self-initiated compliance audit ensures:
• Your VAT records and invoices are accurate and aligned with regulations
• Input/output VAT is calculated and reported correctly
• You are not overpaying or underpaying VAT
• In-house VAT controls are strong and audit-ready
This service is ideal for businesses preparing for:
• FTA audits or inquiries
• Year-end closure or group reporting
• Internal risk review
