What We Do
We Test Your Controls, Processes, and Financial Activity
Bestax provides independent reviews of how your business runs. We examine your controls, your risks, and your rules. We report directly to you, not to the government.
We provide two kinds of audit.
- This page
Internal audits
Internal audits report to management and the board, and our own team delivers them fully.
- Through our network
External audits
External audits produce signed reports for banks and licence authorities. We deliver those through our registered auditor affiliations.
This page covers the internal service.
We report directly to you,not to the government.
We Audit Corporates, Family Groups, and Regulated Companies
We provide the internal auditing services in Dubai that regulated firms require and growing companies choose. Firms regulated in DIFC and ADGM must maintain an internal audit function. Boards with audit committees expect one as well. We serve both.
Growing companies, family groups, and investor-ready businesses also engage us. We catch problems early, while fixes still cost little.
Who engages us

- ADGM
- Boards with audit committees

- Investor-ready companies
Choose the Internal Audit Your Business Needs
Financial Audits
We check your accounting records, transactions, and reports. You learn whether your numbers are accurate and complete.
Operational Audits
We review how work actually flows through your business. We identify waste, delays, and duplicated work, and we measure their cost.
Compliance Audits
UAE rules change often. We test whether your business follows the laws that apply to it, before a regulator does.
IT Audits
We review your systems, data security, and access controls. We flag weak passwords, open access rights, and missing backups.
Risk-Based Audits
We rank your risks first, then audit the largest ones. Your audit budget targets the highest-risk areas.
AML Compliance Audits
Money laundering rules apply to more businesses than many owners expect. We test your checks against the standards set by the UAE Central Bank (opens in a new tab).
Tax Compliance Reviews
We test your VAT and corporate tax records the way the FTA would. Weak spots get fixed before they cost you.
Fraud and Control Checks
We test cash handling, approvals, and payments for gaps. Most fraud begins in areas with little oversight.
One Engagement
How We Combine Audit and Tax in One Review
We are one of the few internal audit firms Dubai businesses can engage for both controls and tax. As an FTA-approved tax agency, we review your VAT and corporate tax records inside the same audit.
We spot wrong VAT treatment and missed corporate tax adjustments. We also flag records that would fail a review by the Federal Tax Authority (opens in a new tab). The same audit that strengthens your operations also protects you from tax penalties.
What the combined review finds
- Wrong VAT treatment
- Missed corporate tax adjustments
- Records that would fail an FTA review
You receive both in a single engagement.
How We Work, Step by Step
Step 1
Risk assessment and plan.
We map where your business could break. The audit plan targets those areas first.
Step 2
Fieldwork.
We review documents, interview your team, and test sample transactions. Every finding is backed by evidence.
Step 3
Clear findings.
Each finding answers five questions: the issue, the rule, the cause, the cost, and the fix.
Step 4
Management report.
You get a plain language report with fixes ranked by risk. Boards and audit committees get their own summary.
Step 5
Follow up.
We review progress until every fix is complete. Open findings add no value, so we follow each one to closure.
Our work follows the COSO framework for internal controls and the 2025 Global Internal Audit Standards. These are the same standards used by the largest firms.
Choose the Bestax Audit Model for Your Business
Fully outsourced
We become your internal audit function. No hiring, no training, no fixed salaries.
Co-sourced
You keep your team, and we work beside it. We add skills your team does not have yet, like IT or AML testing.
One-off reviews
A single deep check of one area, one branch, or one problem. Fast and focused.
Our internal audit consulting services also cover advice: building controls, writing SOPs, and training your team. The result is more than a list of findings. It is a stronger business.
What You Get
Get a Clear Report and a Practical Plan to Fix the Gaps
- A findings report in plain language, ranked by risk.
- A risk register you can keep and update.
- A fix list with owners and dates.
- Suggested procedures for weak areas.
- A follow-up tracker until everything closes.
How We Schedule Your Audits
We set the schedule around your risk, rather than a template. For most businesses, we run a full audit once a year. For high-risk areas, such as cash and inventory, we add quarterly checks. We also review after major changes: new systems, new branches, new managers, or rapid growth.

See Why Businesses Trust Bestax With Their Internal Audits
We believe our work speaks for itself. Our clients say it louder.
Had my first corporate tax filing done through Bestax. They offered a tax planning session that was extremely helpful, especially because I was unsure what expenses could be deducted legally. They kinda guided me through the whole process because, as a healthcare professional, I had no clue how things work around here.
I'm very pleased with the support provided by Athira and her team in completing my Transfer Pricing report and filing the Corporate Tax returns for my company. They are highly responsive, and the quality of their work and reports is truly excellent.
Very smooth and efficient service to open a freezone company. Even while sitting in canada. They are great. Highly highly recommend.
Bestax have been managing my accounts for the past 1 year now and I must say they do an amazing job. My tax returns are always on time and I never faced any penalty.
Maham guided me through the business license renewal process. She even flagged upcoming compliance changes I had no clue about. It’s that extra attention to detail that makes Bestax stand out.
Anusha at Bestax keeps our financials in top shape. Her budgeting advice has improved our cash flow significantly. Highly reliable team!
