A year-end close your auditor can work from
Before the external auditor arrives, a readiness review brings the books to a reconciled close: balances agreed, schedules prepared in the format auditors expect, tax positions consistent with the returns — so the audit is a review of evidence, not a search for it.

What a close & readiness review delivers
Five outputs and one written status.
- Reconciled balancesBank, receivables, payables, inventory and fixed assets reconciled to supporting records, with differences resolved or listed.
- Audit schedulesLead schedules, movement schedules and analyses in the format your appointed auditor expects, so queries start from evidence.
- Tax consistencyVAT and Corporate Tax balances in the books agreed to the returns filed — differences explained before the auditor asks.
- Close adjustmentsAccruals, prepayments, provisions and depreciation posted under the accounting standards accepted in the UAE.
- A written readiness statusWhat is ready, what is open and who resolves it by when — reviewed by a senior before the audit begins.

What to have ready
Nothing needs to be perfect — the review exists to find what is missing.
- Trial balance at year endFrom your accounting system — read-only access is enough
- Bank statements for the yearAll accounts, including any closed during the year
- Last year's audited financial statementsOr management accounts if this is the first audit
- Your auditor's requirements listIf one has been issued; otherwise we use the standard format
Three closes, three auditors
If one of these describes you, this is the right next step.
First statutory audit
The licence or the bank now requires audited statements, and the books have never been closed to an audit standard.
First close · schedulesAuditor queries every year
The audit starts, the questions begin, and the close is rebuilt under pressure — again.
Reconciliations · evidenceBooks behind the year end
The year ended months ago and the books are still open — the audit date is fixed.
Catch-up close · timetableA close that reconciles before year end is a return that files on time.
Prepared by a specialist and reviewed by a senior. Tax-related work is reviewed by a Registered Tax Agent where relevant. Nothing is filed before you approve it.
This page describes a scoped review. Deadlines, thresholds and reliefs are as published by the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Tax Authority; what applies to you is confirmed against your own facts. A written scope and quote precede any work.
Three questions we hear before a close
Short, factual answers. Your own position is what the review settles.
No. We prepare you for your appointed external auditor: reconciled books, schedules and answers to their queries. The audit opinion is theirs; audit-readiness reviews are scoped separately.
Yes. We prepare the pack in the format your auditor expects and answer their queries with you, whoever they are.
Scope first. After a short consultation you receive a written scope and quote for the review itself, before any work begins.
