Advisory services in the UAE require independent, evidence-based expertise from professionals who understand both international financial standards and the UAE regulatory framework. At Abdelhamid & Co. Certified Public Accountants & Auditors L L C SP, we provide professional advisory services — from independent business valuations and IFRS advisory through to UAE Corporate Tax advisory and transfer pricing. We are licensed by the UAE Ministry of Economy (Local Auditors Record No. LC0106-01) and registered as a licensed FTA Tax Agent (TAN: 30003958 | TAAN: 20033908). Our advisory work is grounded in Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on Corporate Tax, Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 on Commercial Companies, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and applicable international valuation standards. Our advisory services integrate directly with our accounting services, corporate tax services, and audit services. Learn more about our firm and our team. Advisory services in the UAE cover independent professional opinions and analysis provided to businesses, investors, and legal parties to support complex decisions. In the UAE context, advisory services most commonly arise in connection with business acquisitions and disposals, shareholder disputes and court proceedings, IFRS financial reporting questions, UAE Corporate Tax planning and compliance, and transfer pricing under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Advisory reports prepared by a licensed CPA firm carry credibility before UAE courts, regulatory authorities, financial institutions, and the FTA. Under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, taxable persons must apply the arm’s length principle to related party transactions. Independent business valuations and transfer pricing studies are therefore increasingly essential for UAE Corporate Tax compliance. Similarly, IFRS 3 (Business Combinations), IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement), and IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets) require professional valuation inputs that must come from qualified, independent practitioners. Our advisory reports are prepared to professional standards, with clear methodologies, documented assumptions, and sensitivity analysis — making them suitable for submission to the UAE Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Justice, UAE courts, and EmaraTax. Core advisory areas: Business valuation — IFRS fair value — Corporate Tax transfer pricing Independent business valuations using DCF (income approach), market multiples, and net asset value — for M&A, shareholder disputes, IFRS 3/13, Corporate Tax transfer pricing, and court proceedings. Reports accepted by UAE courts and the Ministry of Justice. We begin by understanding the specific purpose of your advisory requirement — litigation, M&A, IFRS compliance, or tax planning. Purpose determines methodology, standard of value (fair value, fair market value, or investment value), and the appropriate regulatory framework to apply. We collect and review all relevant financial information — audited or compiled financial statements, management accounts, projections, contracts, and industry data. We assess IFRS compliance, review accounting policies, and identify any adjustments required to normalise historical earnings. We select the most appropriate methodology or combination of methodologies for the engagement — DCF analysis, market multiples (EV/EBITDA, P/E), comparable transactions, or net asset value. All assumptions are documented, supported by market data, and subjected to sensitivity analysis. We prepare a comprehensive written advisory report in English and/or Arabic, setting out the purpose, scope, methodology, findings, and conclusions. All reports are quality-reviewed by the partner before issuance and are issued under the firm’s professional licence. We submit the advisory report to the relevant authority — court, FTA, financial institution, or board — and provide follow-up support including responses to queries, supplementary analysis, and expert witness testimony where required. We provide independent business valuations, IFRS financial advisory (IFRS 3, IFRS 13, IAS 36), and UAE Corporate Tax advisory including transfer pricing under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Our advisory reports are accepted by UAE courts, the Ministry of Justice, financial institutions, and the FTA. Independent business valuations are required for multiple purposes: mergers and acquisitions, shareholder disputes and buyouts, IFRS 3 purchase price allocation, IAS 36 impairment testing, Corporate Tax transfer pricing under DL47/2022, and court or arbitration proceedings. Our Business Valuation Service covers all these scenarios. We apply the income approach (discounted cash flow / DCF), market approach (EV/EBITDA multiples, comparable transactions), and asset approach (net asset value). The methodology is selected based on the purpose of the valuation, the nature of the business, and the applicable standard of value under UAE law and IFRS. Under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, related party transactions must be priced at arm’s length. Transfer pricing advisory involves documenting intercompany transactions, benchmarking prices against comparable uncontrolled transactions, and preparing transfer pricing studies to support the Corporate Tax return and defend positions before the FTA. Yes. Our advisory reports are prepared under the firm’s professional licence (Ministry of Economy LC0106-01) and Working-Auditors Record No. 956, making them eligible for submission to UAE courts and the Ministry of Justice as expert evidence. We can also appear as expert witnesses in court and arbitration proceedings. IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) requires purchase price allocation, IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets) requires recoverable amount assessments, and IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) sets the framework for fair value determination. IAS 38 (Intangible Assets) requires valuation of identifiable intangibles on acquisition. We provide independent valuation inputs for all these IFRS requirements. Yes. All our advisory reports are available in English, Arabic, or bilingual (English/Arabic) format. For court submissions in the UAE, Arabic versions or certified translations are often required. Our bilingual team handles all aspects of the engagement in both languages. 📞 Phone / WhatsApp: +971 50 794 8028 Abdelhamid & Co.
