Internal audit here is not a recycled checklist. Since 2024 we have mapped the cycle that actually moves money or goods in Dubai companies — procurement to payment, sales to cash — and tested whether the control exists on a Tuesday, not only in the manual.
How we scope a year
We agree the cycles, the period, and whether the report goes to the owner or a board. Findings are ranked. A ten-person trading house does not receive a fifty-page catalogue of theoretical risk.
What you get
A short report, an action list, and a follow-up slot. We do not live in your office unless the letter says so. The point is exceptions you can fix before the statutory auditor or the bank asks.
Questions we are asked
Is this the same as a statutory audit?
No. Internal audit reports to you. Statutory audit reports on the statements. Mixing them in one letter produces a document nobody can use.
How many days on site?
A single cycle in a small company is often a week of testing plus reporting. We name the days in the letter.
Do you need internal-audit independence from bookkeeping?
If we keep the books, we will not also sell you ‘independent’ internal audit of those books. We will say so up front.
