One of the most recognizable and well-known free zones in the United Arab Emirates is Sharjah International Airport Free Zone (SAIF Zone). The free zone has access to the sea, which makes it an ideal spot for logistics and warehousing support for businesses. In order for a firm to achieve the highest level of success, SAIF Zone aspires to provide the greatest services and amenities. The SAIF Zone's proximity to Dubai and Abu Dhabi makes it simple to reach the entire world, enabling you to explore new markets and expand your clientele.
Having an approved auditor helps company management understand what the company can do to increase profits. An accredited auditor is a person or a business that has the support of the free zone administration. In order to obtain a flawless audit, it is crucial to use the services of a company that has been approved to perform financial audits in the free zone.
External Audit Services
An external audit provides an independent examination of a company's financial statements and supporting records. It helps assess whether the financial information presents a fair view of the company's financial position and results.
GAAP Associates supports businesses with financial statement reviews, examination of accounting records and audit documentation. The scope of an audit is determined by the company's requirements and applicable regulations.
Financial Statement Preparation and Review
Accurate financial statements help business owners understand revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and overall financial performance. We assist businesses with reviewing financial information and preparing financial statements based on their accounting records and reporting requirements.
Organised financial reporting can also help management assess business performance, communicate with stakeholders and prepare for discussions with banks or other relevant parties.
Accounting and Bookkeeping Services
Maintaining up-to-date accounting records is an important part of financial management. Our accounting and bookkeeping support helps businesses organise invoices, expenses, receipts, bank transactions and other financial documents.
Regular bookkeeping can make it easier to reconcile accounts, monitor cash flow and provide the financial information needed for reporting and audit procedures.
VAT Compliance Support
Businesses registered for VAT in the UAE need to maintain appropriate records and meet the filing requirements applicable to their activities. Our VAT support includes assistance with VAT registration, return preparation, filing support and reviewing relevant transaction records.
For SAIF Zone businesses involved in trading, imports, exports or local sales, the VAT treatment of transactions should be assessed according to the nature of the supply and applicable UAE VAT rules.
UAE Corporate Tax Support
Free zone status does not automatically mean that all business income qualifies for a 0% Corporate Tax rate. Eligibility depends on the applicable UAE Corporate Tax rules and the company's circumstances.
GAAP Associates assists businesses with Corporate Tax registration, tax return filing, accounting records and related compliance requirements. We can also help businesses understand the financial information required to assess their tax position and maintain supporting documentation.
Internal Audit and Financial Controls
Internal audits help businesses evaluate financial processes, internal controls and risk management practices. They can identify weaknesses in documentation, transaction approvals, account reconciliation, and other financial procedures.
Our internal audit support can help management understand potential control gaps and identify practical improvements suited to the company's operations.
