Operating in Saudi Arabia means answering to more than one regulator at once. ZATCA expects accurate tax and e-invoicing records, MISA attaches conditions to your investment licence, HRSD monitors labour and Saudization files, and municipal and sector authorities add requirements of their own. A compliance audit gives you an honest picture of where your entity stands across all of these obligations. Instead of discovering gaps during an inspection or a licence renewal, you find them early, understand their causes, and fix them on your own terms.
What this covers
- Regulatory gap assessments: a structured review of your obligations under ZATCA, MISA, HRSD, and municipal or sector regulators, mapped against what your entity actually does today.
- Licence and registration reviews: verification that commercial registrations, investment licences, activity codes, and portal records are current, consistent, and matched to your real operations.
- Process and documentation audits: examination of contracts, invoices, payroll files, and statutory records to confirm they would stand up to an official inspection.
- Third-party compliance checks: assessment of vendors, service providers, and outsourcing partners whose failures can become your liability under Saudi rules.
- Prioritised remediation plans: findings ranked by severity and regulatory exposure, with clear owners, corrective actions, and follow-up checkpoints.
- Periodic reassessments: scheduled follow-up audits that confirm fixes hold and keep pace as regulations change.
