Compliance Account Review

An independent review that confirms your books actually support what you file with ZATCA, QAWAEM and other Saudi authorities.

Compliance Account Review

Overview

Filings are only as reliable as the accounts behind them. In Saudi Arabia, ZATCA can compare your VAT returns against e-invoicing data, your declarations against your audited statements, and those statements against what sits on QAWAEM. A compliance account review examines your books through that same lens before an authority does, and tells you exactly where the story does not hold together. The review is diagnostic rather than punitive: its purpose is to give you the time to correct issues on your own terms.

What this covers

  • Return-to-ledger reconciliation: tying your VAT returns back to recorded revenue and purchases, and explaining every material variance found.
  • Withholding tax completeness: scanning vendor payments for non-resident transactions where withholding should have applied but may have been missed.
  • Declaration base review: testing the figures behind your Zakat or corporate income tax declarations against the underlying ledgers and supporting files.
  • E-invoicing integrity: checking that Fatoora data, issued invoices and recorded sales agree with one another across the period.
  • Documentation audit: confirming that contracts, invoices and supporting evidence actually exist for the positions you have already filed.
  • Remediation roadmap: prioritised findings with clear fixes, named owners and the order in which to address them.

How Innovant delivers

Innovant runs the review to an agreed scope and reports findings plainly, without softening what you need to hear. It can be commissioned once, ahead of an expected audit or dispute, or adopted as an annual discipline before declaration season. Where fixes are straightforward, we implement them with your team as part of the same engagement. Either way, you learn where you stand before anyone else does.

Do not wait for a letter from an authority to discover the gaps in your books. Talk to an advisor and schedule your compliance account review.
