A sales certification audit provides independent verification of a business's revenue figures, whether for the purposes of franchise royalty calculation, revenue-sharing arrangements, lease agreements tied to turnover, insurance premium assessment, or regulatory reporting. In the UAE's retail, F&B, hospitality and franchise sectors, turnover-based arrangements are common, and the integrity of the revenue figures on which those arrangements are based is of direct financial consequence to both parties.
CashLaw Global conducts sales certification audits across all UAE business types, reviewing POS records, bank deposits, invoice registers, VAT return filings and any other relevant revenue documentation to produce a certified statement of sales for the period under review. Our sales certification reports are issued under our licensed firm's authority and are accepted by UAE free zone authorities, brand principals, landlords and commercial counterparties.

Book Free ConsultationMajor retail developers (such as Emaar, Nakheel, and Majid Al Futtaim) frequently structure commercial leases with a turnover rent clause (base rent plus a percentage of gross sales). They mandate an independent Sales Certification Audit from a registered auditor to verify that the tenant's declared gross revenue figures are perfectly accurate.
Retailers must provide daily POS Z-reports, bank merchant statements reflecting credit/debit card settlements, VAT returns matching the certified period, and a detailed reconciliation sheet of any authorized deductions (such as customer refunds or staff discounts).
Depending on the completeness of the POS data provided, a standard sales certification can be meticulously reviewed, audited, and issued within 3 to 5 business days to avoid landlord non-compliance penalties.
