Year-End Close KSA

The year-end close is the critical process that transforms twelve months of accounting transactions into a set of reliable, IFRS-compliant financial statements ready for external audit. Done well, it enables a fast, clean audit with minimal queries and an unqualified opinion. Done poorly, it creates weeks of additional work, extended audit timelines, and the risk of a qualified opinion that can damage relationships with banks, ZATCA, and shareholders.

Intelli Solutions manages the complete year-end closing process for Saudi businesses — from preparing the year-end adjustment journal entries and IFRS estimates through to delivering a fully reconciled, audit-ready trial balance and supporting workpapers within an agreed timeline.

Year-End Close Checklist

1

Revenue Cut-Off

Ensuring all revenue has been recognised in the correct period — goods delivered before year-end are invoiced, goods delivered after are not — with particular attention to IFRS 15 percentage-of-completion adjustments for long-term contracts.

2

Accruals & Prepayments

Posting accruals for expenses incurred but not yet invoiced (audit fees, utilities, rent, year-end bonuses) and deferring prepaid expenses to future periods.

3

Fixed Assets Roll-Forward

Agreeing the opening fixed asset register, adding capital expenditure, removing disposals, and computing depreciation — producing the closing fixed asset schedule for the balance sheet.

4

EOSB Provision

Calculating the year-end EOSB provision under IAS 19 — using appropriate actuarial assumptions for salary growth, discount rate, and employee turnover probability.

5

Inventory Valuation

Physical count reconciliation, slow-moving and obsolete inventory review, and net realisable value (NRV) assessment under IAS 2.

6

Tax & Zakat Provision

Calculating and posting the year-end Zakat and CIT provisions — with a preliminary Zakat base calculation reviewed before the ZATCA filing deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, 4–6 weeks before year-end — starting with cut-off procedures, inventory count preparation, and IFRS estimate updates. Post year-end, the close should be completed within 4–6 weeks to allow sufficient time for the external audit before ZATCA filing deadlines. We work to a documented closing calendar that is agreed with each client at the start of the year.
