Internal control review is an independent evaluation of an organisation's policies, procedures, and control systems designed to safeguard assets, ensure accurate financial reporting, and promote operational efficiency. The primary objective is to assess whether existing controls are properly designed and operating effectively, while identifying gaps that could expose the business to financial, operational, or compliance risk in the UAE.
In Dubai and across the UAE, a strong internal control environment has become a key expectation for mainland companies, free zone entities, and regulated businesses alike. Boards and management are increasingly required to demonstrate that adequate controls exist over financial reporting, procurement, cash handling, and IT systems, in line with UAE Commercial Companies Law and sector-specific regulatory requirements. A structured internal control review helps businesses identify weaknesses before they result in losses, fraud, or regulatory findings.
