the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the one of the directors of a legal firm. We’re based in UAE and we've been successful since the early 2000s in providing legal services.
For what projects/services did your company hire Farahat & Co.?
I needed help with statutory audit in UAE, so I hired Farahat & Co and their team.
What were your goals for this project?
The goal was to satisfy our legal obligations and establish mutual trust within the company through transparency.
How did you select this vendor?
I've been doing some research online for the best auditing firms in Dubai UAE, and there were so many impressive things said about Farahat & Co. Online, you will see a lot of reviews left by previous clients saying they were fully satisfied with the company and that their staff are very reliable.
Describe the project in detail.
With the main goal of being fully compliant to our legal obligations, we hired a top audit firm in Dubai Farahat & Co. Their team sat down with me for the consultation and explained the process of audit in UAE. I was relieved as I've witnessed their professionalism. I hired them on the spot and then their team showed me why it's needed to check books of accounts. As I've found out, it is to provide an accurate view of our company's affairs. The farahat and co auditors in Dubai focused on financial reports of the business, determining the ones that are qualified and unqualified reports.
What was the team composition?
The team of Farahat & Co for audit service in UAE was comprised of 3 auditors with a head/leader, whom I absolutely enjoyed working with, Mr. Muhammad.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Like all other clients of the audit firm that I've read to be fully satisfied with their audit services, I was also very pleased to say the least. They were able to provide me with advice on how to develop our financial reporting process and ease the entire process of audit for the future. They have also provided us with reports that I was able to present to the board to let them see how the business is performing for the current financial year. On top of it all, the undertaking was done in an efficient manner. There was little interruption to our business operations. I am honestly very impressed. I will not be working with any other audit team – that's for certain.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
My accountant only had to provide them with the books of accounts and Mr. Muhammad’s team did all the work. According to my accountant, their team even went beyond and gave tips on how to prepare books of accounts in case the business gets audited for VAT by the UAE Federal Tax Authority.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Three things: their experience, work ethics, and expertise.
Are there any areas for improvement?
I honestly can’t find any.
The partner is happy with the positive results that have come from the deliverables and services. Farahat & Co. is a true partner that meets all requirements and deadlines. Their team implements an effective project management style, maintaining efficient communication on a regular basis.
