Accounting records are essential to understanding the profitability, cashflow and net worth of any business. It is prescribed in the UAE law that all businesses in UAE are required to maintain proper books of accounts. Sometimes, start-ups and SME’s are not aware of the requirements of the law and fail to record the transactions in an appropriate manner.There are many reasons for updating the books of accounts for the past years or periods. As the business grows the entrepreneurs realize the importance of having proper books of accounts. Additionally, due to growing awareness of the law, the owners want to be complaint. Sometimes, when the owner is looking for additional funding, debt or equity, the investor requires the past records to be made available so that they can make informed decision.At this stage we help owners with re-creating the books of accounts from the incorporation date or from the date agreed with the owner. Our experienced team at IFC guides the clients and has a flexible approach to updating backlog, as we understand that not all records may be available from the past.
