IFRS compliance Support for Your Reporting Needs
MAK Chartered Accountants L.L.C. provides Implementation support for businesses assessing accounting and reporting changes. Our IFRS consultants work with management to define the issues, records, and deliverables involved. Contact us to discuss an advisory scope for your reporting period and business structure.
Free ConsultationOur IFRS compliance advisory work helps you assess how relevant accounting requirements affect your financial reporting. We review the agreed areas and identify information that needs attention. You receive a clear explanation of the work performed, key findings, and matters requiring management judgement.
A change in business activity, ownership, contracts, or reporting needs can raise new accounting questions. We help you assess those questions before drafting a response. The service should fit the entity and reporting period rather than rely on a generic checklist alone.

- 04 / REVIEWTrack open matters
Review implementation progress and unresolved questions.
IFRS compliance Assessment with a Defined Scope
We begin by identifying the reporting entity, period, current framework, and intended users. These details affect which requirements need assessment. Full IFRS Accounting Standards and the IFRS for SMEs Accounting Standard are different frameworks, so eligibility and applicable requirements must be checked.
IFRS compliance Work with Clear Responsibilities
The engagement identifies the reporting areas we assess and the records management provides. It should explain whether the work covers selected issues or a broader reporting review. A limited assignment should not be presented as a conclusion on every requirement.
Management retains responsibility for accounting judgements and financial statements. We explain recommendations and the supporting analysis within the agreed scope. Our work does not automatically provide an audit opinion or a certification of complete conformity.
Implementation support for Agreed Accounting Changes
We can help define the tasks needed to apply an agreed treatment. These may include obtaining records, preparing schedules, considering entries, and drafting disclosures. The plan should identify who approves each change and when it is expected to be completed.
Implementation support with Evidence and Follow-Up
We can review progress against the agreed task list and explain unresolved matters. Changes may require further information or specialist input. We don’t treat a completed checklist as proof that every accounting issue has been resolved.
IFRS consultants Working with Your Finance Team
We discuss your current accounting process and the people involved in reporting. Your team can explain transaction details and provide the records needed for analysis. We agree how questions, proposed treatments, and management decisions will be documented.
Where reporting processes need separate attention, our accounting system assessment can be considered through a separate scope. Technical accounting advice and system implementation should have clearly defined responsibilities.
IFRS reporting requirements for Your Entity and Period
We assess requirements relevant to the agreed transactions and reporting areas. These may involve recognition, measurement, presentation, or disclosure. The work should consider the standards and amendments applicable to the period being reported.
IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. We can discuss preparation for relevant presentation and disclosure changes. The IFRS Foundation IFRS 18 resource explains the standard and its effective date.
Readiness work may require changes to data, account mapping, and internal reporting processes. Comparative information can also require attention. We assess the tasks relevant to your circumstances rather than assume that a new statement template is enough.
IFRS Implementation for First-Time Adoption and Change
We can assess whether IFRS 1 applies to your proposed first IFRS financial statements. A transition plan may need an opening statement of financial position and consistent accounting policies. Applicable exceptions, exemptions, and disclosures require careful assessment.
The IFRS Foundation first-time adoption resource describes transition requirements, including explaining effects on reported figures. We discuss the records needed for your assignment without assuming every entity has the same transition date or choices.
Not every accounting change is first-time adoption. A new transaction or an amended standard may require a different approach. We identify the reason for the change before deciding which transition provisions need review.
IFRS Advisory Services for Specific Reporting Questions
We can assess issues arising from contracts, leases, revenue arrangements, financial instruments, or other agreed transactions. The actual work depends on the facts and records available. Complex estimates or valuations may need input from an appropriate specialist.
IFRS Advisory Services in Dubai
We support businesses that need a documented response to an accounting question. The proposed scope should identify the issue, analysis, and intended deliverable. We distinguish technical advice from preparing a complete set of statements.
IFRS Consulting Services
Our work can include discussion papers, policy support, or review comments within the agreed terms. We explain material assumptions and alternative treatments where relevant. Management should review the analysis before approving an accounting decision.
IFRS Advisory Services in UAE
We can discuss assignments for single entities or agreed group structures. The proposal should identify the entities and reporting areas included. Group reporting may raise questions about control, related balances, and consolidation that require separate analysis.
IFRS Advisory Services in the UAE
We assess reporting needs without assuming that every business faces identical local requirements. Applicable laws, regulator rules, contractual obligations, and recipient requirements must also be checked. Accounting advice does not replace legal advice or a separate regulatory review.
IFRS Advisory Services & Financial Services in Dubai – UAE
This service wording refers to the accounting and financial reporting advisory tasks agreed with MAK. It does not describe deposit-taking, lending, investment dealing, or other regulated financial activities. We define the actual work in the engagement.
IFRS Consultancy Services in Abu Dhabi and Dubai
We can coordinate advisory discussions and records across agreed locations. The work can be supported by meetings and a suitable document-sharing process. The proposal should state communication arrangements, information deadlines, and responsibilities.
Expert IFRS advisory services in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Ask about the proposed team’s relevant experience and the scope it will undertake. We explain the support offered and any need for specialist input. This wording does not imply an unverified accreditation, award, or approval by the IFRS Foundation.
IFRS Services UAE
We can help you identify which reporting tasks belong in the proposed assignment. Statement preparation, recurring accounts, and independent audit each need clear terms. For preparation needs, discuss our financial statement reporting support separately.
Gap Analysis & Implementation for Priority Reporting Areas
We compare the agreed current practices with the applicable requirements and record the differences identified. A useful assessment explains the issue, information needed, and proposed next step. We can help prioritise work based on its reporting significance and timing.
- Confirm the reporting framework and period.
- Identify transactions and balances within scope.
- Review relevant policies and supporting records.
- Document gaps and information requests.
- Assign implementation tasks and review dates.
- Track unresolved judgements and disclosure matters.
The findings reflect the scope and evidence reviewed. A selected-issue assessment is not a full audit of every balance or control. We explain these boundaries in the proposed deliverables.
Accounting policy development for Consistent Application
We can help document policies relevant to your transactions and reporting framework. The work should explain the treatment used and the circumstances in which it applies. A policy should reflect the business facts rather than copy wording without assessing its relevance.
Material judgements and estimates may need supporting papers and management approval. Policies also need review when transactions or applicable requirements change. We discuss an appropriate update process within the agreed scope.
Where management needs broader financial review meetings, our finance leadership support can be considered separately. Ongoing business advice is not automatically included in a technical policy assignment.
Discuss Reporting Priorities, Deliverables, and Fees
Our IFRS compliance consultation starts with your entity structure, reporting period, and main concerns. Share your current statements, accounting framework, and the issues you want assessed. We can then discuss the work needed and any records that are missing.
Our IFRS compliance proposal defines the selected areas, intended deliverables, and responsibilities. Fees and timing depend on complexity, record quality, and specialist needs. The scope should explain how additional issues or changes to the assignment will be handled.
Discuss Your IFRS Advisory RequirementsFive Answers Before Planning Your IFRS Advisory Work
What does an IFRS advisory engagement cover?
The agreed scope may include a reporting gap assessment, accounting policy support, transition planning, technical issue analysis, or disclosure review. We confirm the entity, reporting period, applicable framework, and deliverables before starting.
Can you help with first-time adoption?
Yes. We can assess whether IFRS 1 applies and discuss the information needed for a transition plan. This can include opening balances, relevant exemptions and exceptions, comparative information, and transition disclosures. The final work depends on the entity and available records.
Does advisory support provide an audit opinion?
No. Advisory work does not provide an independent audit opinion or guarantee auditor acceptance. Management remains responsible for judgements and financial statements. A separate audit requires its own scope and independence assessment.
When does IFRS 18 become effective?
IFRS 18 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted. The applicable requirements and any later amendments should be checked for your reporting period. We can discuss a separate assessment of presentation, data, and process changes.
How can we request a scope and fee proposal?
Use the consultation form or WhatsApp +971 50 276 2132. Share your entity structure, reporting period, current accounting framework, available statements, and main concerns. We assess the work required before proposing deliverables, fees, and timing.
