Before we start working together
Who is Team Secure?+
Team Secure Tax Consultants and Auditing L.L.C — S.P.C is an Abu Dhabi based firm of business management and chartered accountancy professionals with more than 25 years of experience, serving clients across the UAE from small local businesses to large multinationals.
Where is your office?+
AL HAIL Business Centre, No. 47, Unit 10, P.O. Box 71562, Mussafah 4, Abu Dhabi, UAE. We serve clients throughout the Emirates and can work remotely where preferred.
Can we start with one service only?+
Yes. Many clients start with a VAT compliance review or a year-end audit and expand into bookkeeping, payroll or advisory once they see how we work.
How are your fees structured?+
We issue a written scope with fixed fees before work begins. Recurring services such as bookkeeping and payroll are billed monthly; audit and advisory engagements are quoted per engagement.
How the monthly work runs
Our books are years behind. Can you fix that?+
Yes — backlog accounting is one of our core services. We reconstruct the ledger from source documents, reconcile the banks and bring you to a position where statutory audit and tax filing are possible.
What will we receive each month?+
A complete set of books, bank reconciliation statements, revenue reconciled to bank deposits, and an MIS report comparing forecast to actual figures with thorough explanations of the variances.
Do you work with our accounting software?+
Yes. We work in your existing system, or advise on and implement one — accounting software selection, setup and ongoing support are part of our services.
Getting tax right
Do we need to register for VAT?+
Registration depends on your taxable turnover against the mandatory and voluntary thresholds. We assess your position, and if registration is required we complete it and set up the records you must keep.
What happens if we have filed VAT returns incorrectly?+
We carry out a compliance review, quantify the exposure, and where errors exist we prepare a voluntary disclosure — which is almost always better than waiting for the authority to find it.
Can you deal with the Federal Tax Authority for us?+
Yes. Through our tax agent services we act as your registered representative, handling correspondence, submissions, audits, reconsideration requests and penalty appeals.
How does corporate tax affect our group?+
We run an impact assessment covering taxable person analysis, free-zone qualifying income, exemptions and reliefs, then put the registration, documentation and computation process in place.
Assurance and certification
How long does an audit take?+
It depends on size and the state of the records. Our audit is planned jointly with your team so that issues surface early — a well-kept set of books usually means a materially shorter field visit.
Do you provide internal audit as well?+
Yes — as co-sourcing, resource enhancement, access to specialised skills, or full outsourcing, depending on your requirement.
We suspect fraud. What can you do?+
We conduct a forensic audit: a planned investigation with evidence gathering and review, to establish whether a fraud occurred, identify those involved, quantify the loss and present findings — to you and, if needed, to court.
Do you help with ICV and ADNOC registration?+
Yes. We prepare the ICV template from audited statements, advise on improving the score, and assemble and submit ADNOC supplier registration and contractor classification documentation.
