Eleven questions

When businesses need corporate governance support

They wake up wondering who gets to decide what. Every service in this practice answers a question somebody actually asked, so here they are as the questions rather than as the names.

Before you commit

The question asked while it is still a decision.

Running it

Direction, money and who decides what.

Knowing where you stand

What the business is worth, what it owes, what the figures mean.

Changing shape

When the business has to become something else, or belong to someone else.

The groupings say when a question usually comes up, not what order to do things in. A business can need a valuation and a succession plan in the same month, or a feasibility study years after it started trading.

Answers

Questions asked about Comprehensive Financial Reporting and Statement Analysis

The 6 asked most often, answered by an adviser.

01

Is financial statement analysis mandatory for UAE companies?

There is no single law that compels every company to commission financial statement analysis, but related obligations often make it necessary. Most free zone licences require audited financial statements for renewal, and every UAE company must keep accounting records for at least five years, so accurate underlying statements are essential regardless of formal analysis requirements.

02

How much does financial reporting and analysis cost in the UAE?

Financial reporting and statement analysis is quoted with a proposal once we understand the size of the business, the volume of transactions, and which statements and ratios are needed. Bookkeeping that feeds into these reports starts at AED 599 per month for up to 50 transactions, with reporting and analysis priced separately.

03

What financial statements are usually prepared and reviewed?

A complete set typically includes the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, and notes to the financial statements. Together these give a full picture of assets, liabilities, profitability, and cash movement, and the notes explain the accounting policies and assumptions behind the figures.

04

What documents do I need to provide for a financial statement review?

You will generally need to provide bank statements, sales and purchase records, payroll records, fixed asset registers, existing management accounts, and any prior year financial statements. The exact list depends on the complexity of the business and whether the analysis covers a single period or trends across several years.

05

How long does it take to complete financial statement analysis?

Timing depends on how complete and organised the underlying records are, the number of periods being compared, and whether ratio, trend, and cash flow analysis are all required. Straightforward reviews of tidy records move faster, while reconstructing incomplete accounts before analysis can begin will extend the timeline.

06

Why should I bother with ratio and trend analysis rather than just filing accounts?

Ratio and trend analysis, covering profitability, liquidity, and efficiency, turns raw figures into information you can act on, showing whether margins are improving, whether cash is tight, and how the business compares over time. This supports better financial decisions, stronger risk management, and clearer reporting to investors or lenders.
