We examine your ERP's configuration, controls, access rights, data and compliance setup against good practice, then give you a written report with ranked findings and clear recommendations.
An ERP audit for a UAE company is a formal, evidence-based review of how the system is configured, which internal controls work, who holds which access rights, how clean the master data is and whether VAT and corporate tax settings support UAE requirements. Unlike a lighter health check, it tests controls with sample transactions and ends in a written report with ranked findings.
Our ERP audit services in the UAE provide a structured, documented review of your ERP system. We look at how it is configured, which controls are in place, who can do what, how clean the data is and whether the tax setup supports UAE requirements. The result is a findings report that management, finance and your external auditors can use.
An ERP audit is more formal and deeper than a quick system review. Where an ERP health check looks at overall fitness and performance, an audit tests specific controls, samples transactions, examines role assignments user by user and records evidence for each finding. It suits companies preparing for an external audit, investor due diligence, a corporate tax filing or a change of finance leadership.
We audit Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and custom ERP systems. We are an ERP consultancy, not an audit firm, so our report is a technical and process review that supports your accountants and auditors rather than a statutory audit opinion.

These issues are common in systems that have grown over several years without a formal review.
Over time, admin rights are given to solve urgent problems and never removed. Several users can change configuration, approve their own transactions or delete records.
The same person can create a supplier, enter a bill and release the payment. This is a classic fraud risk that external auditors look for first.
Purchase or discount approvals exist on paper, but certain document types, users or amounts skip them. Testing with real transactions shows where the gaps are.
Items or customers carry the wrong VAT treatment, reverse-charge entries are missing on imported services, or tax invoices lack required fields. These errors flow straight into returns.
Duplicate customers, suppliers without TRNs, items with missing costs and inconsistent units distort reports and make reconciliations slow.
Change tracking on key fields such as bank details, prices or credit limits is not enabled, so nobody can show who changed what and when.
The audit follows a defined method so findings are consistent and supported by evidence.
We agree which entities, modules and processes are in scope, and what we review against: your policies, platform good practice and UAE tax configuration requirements.
We export configuration settings, user and role lists, approval rules, tax setup and master data, and interview process owners in finance, procurement, sales and HR.
We test whether approvals, credit limits and posting restrictions actually work by tracing sample transactions, and we analyze role combinations for segregation of duties conflicts.
We run checks for duplicates, missing mandatory fields, invalid TRNs, inconsistent tax codes and unreconciled balances between subledgers and the general ledger.
You receive a written report with each finding rated by risk, the evidence behind it and a recommended fix. We present it to management and answer questions from your auditors if needed.
Each report is structured so it can be shared with management and external auditors.
Duration depends on the number of entities, modules and users in scope. These ranges are indicative.
Durations are typical ranges; your plan is agreed after discovery.
Agreement on scope, criteria, access and interview schedule.
System exports, document review and process owner interviews.
Control tests, segregation of duties analysis and data quality checks.
Draft report, factual review with your team and final presentation.
Fixes delivered by your team or ours, followed by a focused re-test.
The value lies in knowing exactly where you stand and what to fix first.
Control weaknesses are found and fixed before your auditors raise them, and you have evidence ready for their questions.
Removing conflicting role combinations and excess admin rights closes the most common internal risks.
Corrected tax codes and invoice fields mean VAT figures come from the system with fewer manual adjustments. Confirm treatments with your tax advisor.
Ranked findings give IT and finance an agreed list of fixes instead of a vague sense that something is wrong.
Useful next steps once your audit findings are in hand.
We configure the system for the rules UAE businesses report against, and test it before go-live.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Confirm current requirements with the FTA, MOHRE or your advisor. See all UAE compliance guides.
On-site workshops in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, and remote or on-site delivery across the Northern Emirates and free zones.

Ask an ExpertNo. A financial audit gives an opinion on your financial statements and is performed by a licensed audit firm. Our ERP audit reviews the system that produces those numbers: configuration, controls, access and data. It supports your auditors but does not replace them.
A health check is a lighter review of overall fitness, performance and usage. An audit is formal and evidence-based, tests specific controls with sample transactions, and produces a report suitable for management and external auditors.
Yes. Independence is often the reason companies ask us. We need read access to the system and time with process owners; we do not need the original partner to be involved.
We review how tax codes, tax invoice fields, reverse charge and reports are configured, and whether the chart of accounts supports corporate tax schedules. We do not give tax advice, so treatments should be confirmed with your tax advisor.
Very little. Most work uses exports and read-only access. Interviews with process owners are scheduled in advance and usually take an hour or two per department.
