Companies registered in Saudi Arabia are required to file their audited financial statements through QAWAEM, the Ministry of Commerce platform, while foreign-invested entities also answer to MISA for licence-related reporting. Missed or inconsistent submissions can affect your standing with both authorities and complicate renewals, banking relationships and tender participation. Treating these filings as a managed annual process keeps your entity in good order everywhere it is registered.
What this covers
- Statement preparation: converting your audited financial statements into the structure and disclosures the QAWAEM platform expects, in coordination with your accounting team.
- Platform submission: handling the QAWAEM filing end to end, resolving validation issues as they arise and obtaining confirmation once the statements are accepted.
- MISA reporting: preparing the periodic information MISA requests from foreign-invested entities and keeping your licence file accurate and current throughout the year.
- Auditor coordination: liaising with your external auditor so signed statements, reports and supporting documents arrive complete and ready to file.
- Consistency checks: reconciling what you file on QAWAEM with your ZATCA declarations, so the numbers seen by different authorities tell one coherent story.
- Record keeping: archiving acknowledgements, receipts and filed versions so proof of compliance is available whenever a bank, partner or regulator asks for it.
