Audit & Assurance services

Audit and assurance

Our Assurance group covers 14 countries in the Middle East to provide assurance on the financial performance and operations of your business. We can also help your business improve its external financial reporting and adapt to regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Our audit clients include regional firms as well as numerous middle-market enterprises. In every case, the PricewaterhouseCoopers audit is underpinned by our deep industry knowledge, wide international experience and global network of skilled professionals.

PricewaterhouseCoopers' Assurance group can also help your organisation report externally on non-financial information, strengthen its corporate governance procedures and achieve social and economic goals related to corporate sustainability.

Statutory and contractual audits

We provide assurance services to organisations that must submit to an independent audit to comply with statutory or regulatory requirements. Our statutory audit provides assurance on the truth and fairness of an organisation's financial statements, advice on controls and processing systems, confirmation of accounting treatments with respect to complex transactions and specifically addresses any other regulatory reporting requirements.

Independent controls and process assurance

For organisations that require an independent evaluation of their business processes and related controls, PricewaterhouseCoopers provides overall evaluation of management controls, assurance on business processes, systems, data and technology management, risk management solutions, and traditional third party assurance. Our services enable you to gain comfort that your systems, processes and risk management procedures are operating effectively and within a well-controlled environment.

Internal audit

PricewaterhouseCoopers can assist organisations in improving their internal audit function. We do this in several ways: by measuring the effectiveness of existing internal audit processes and advising on the development of enhanced internal audit methodologies; providing full or partial internal audit outsourcing solutions; supporting the internal audit function with advanced software tools; and delivering tailored training programmes for internal auditors.

Payroll and accounting services

To help you keep on top of payroll compliance and avoid the potential risks and penalties of non-compliance, PwC can provide a confidential and consistent payroll service to relieve overburdened in-house resources. We bring together our international network and local expertise to deliver you coordinated payroll compliance management across borders, using GCS WorldView technology for enhanced control. We plan a smooth transition from your existing providers, process monthly payrolls and accounts in line with local legislation and company updates, ensure timely payments to employees and suppliers, and provide you with all the reports and returns you require on schedule.
