Our Approach to VAT Audit in UAE

Initial Consultation
The auditing firm starts the VAT audit procedure after first consulting with the client. During this phase, the auditor collects data regarding the client’s business operations, industry, size, and prior VAT compliance history. Understanding the audit’s scope and any particular problem areas is the goal.

VAT Audit Planning
Following the initial consultation, we create a thorough VAT audit plan that is customised to meet the unique needs and specifications of the client. This includes figuring out the goals, schedule, resources, and extent of the audit. To evaluate the compliance of transactions related to value-added tax, our auditor plans audit methods and identifies important risk areas.

Data Collection and Examination
We might ask you for all financial records and documentation, such as bank statements, VAT returns, sales and purchase invoices, accounting records, and any other paperwork about VAT transactions. We take our time to thoroughly review these records to verify the value of VAT reporting, detect any errors, and assure compliance with VAT laws and regulations.

Creating Reports
We create a detailed audit report detailing the conclusions, observations, and suggestions after the audit fieldwork. Also, any instances of non-compliance, mistakes, or vulnerabilities found in the audit process are highlighted in the report. Moreover, our auditors may offer helpful suggestions and remedial measures to assist the customer in enhancing VAT compliance and reducing risks. We also help the customer reply to any questions or requests for more data from tax authorities.
