Audit Preparation Services Saudi Arabia
Get audit-ready before the auditors arrive — financial clean-up, reconciliations, IFRS compliance, and audit file preparation to minimise delays and qualify risks.
The most common cause of audit delays, qualification risks, and unexpected audit costs is poor financial record quality at year-end. Reconciliations not performed, inter-company balances unreconciled, fixed assets incorrectly classified, revenue recognition applied inconsistently, and IFRS disclosures missing — these are all issues that external auditors will identify and require correction, extending the audit timeline and inflating fees.
Intelli Solutions provides a dedicated audit preparation service that gets your books audit-ready before the external auditor begins fieldwork. We review your trial balance, perform key reconciliations, identify and correct IFRS compliance gaps, and prepare an audit file that allows the external audit to proceed quickly and cleanly — reducing your audit fees and eliminating the stress of last-minute corrections.
What Audit Preparation Covers
Trial Balance Review
Line-by-line review of the year-end trial balance — identifying unusual balances, missing accruals, incorrect classifications, and accounts requiring explanation or reclassification.
Key Reconciliations
Bank reconciliations for all accounts, intercompany balance reconciliation, trade receivable and payable sub-ledger reconciliation, and VAT/Zakat account clearing.
Fixed Asset Register
Verification of opening balances, additions, disposals, and depreciation calculations — ensuring alignment with IFRS and ZATCA capital allowance requirements.
Inventory Count & Valuation
Coordination of physical inventory count, cut-off procedures, and IFRS NRV valuation review — resolving stock differences before audit commencement.
IFRS Compliance Review
Review of accounting policy application against IFRS standards — revenue recognition (IFRS 15), leases (IFRS 16), impairment (IAS 36), and financial instruments (IFRS 9).
Audit File Preparation
Preparation of organised audit support schedules — lead schedules, reconciliations, and explanatory workpapers — in the format auditors prefer, minimising information request turnaround time.
