Environmental, Social and Governance: What it means for UAE businesses and why it is now a board-level priority.

ESG is no longer a checkbox. For UAE businesses, it is becoming a licence to operate, a tool to attract capital, and a signal of long-term resilience.

Here is what it means for you:

🌱 Environmental: Managing emissions, energy, resources and climate-related risks.
👥 Social: Strengthening employee wellbeing, diversity, human rights and community impact.
⚖️ Governance: Enhancing transparency, accountability, risk management and ethical decision-making.

For boards and leadership teams, ESG is increasingly about managing risk, meeting stakeholder expectations and building a resilient, future-ready business.

In his latest article, Armen Biberian, Partner at Baker Tilly UAE, explores how Internal Controls and ICOFR can improve audit outcomes, strengthen financial reporting, reduce audit findings and enhance governance.

With evolving UAE corporate tax, IFRS, DIFC, ADGM and VARA requirements, robust controls are becoming a strategic advantage, not just a compliance requirement.

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗧𝗔 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲?

The Federal Tax Authority issued Decision No. 13 of 2026 today, that provides further detail on the verification of the validity and integrity of supplies Taxable Persons receive.

The Decision builds on Article 54 bis of the UAE VAT Law, which came into effect on 1 January 2026 and introduced the framework under which input tax may be denied where a taxable person knew, or should have known, that a supply was connected with tax evasion. Applicable from 1 October 2026, the new Decision sets out the measures, procedures and conditions taxable persons must follow when carrying out the required verifications.

The significance goes beyond input VAT recovery at the time of filing a VAT return. Businesses will need to consider how the requirements affect:

● Supplier onboarding, verification, and risk assessment
● Procurement and accounts payable controls
● Invoice review, VAT coding, and recovery determination
● Supporting documentation and audit trails

With a limited period before the Decision becomes applicable, businesses should assess whether these requirements are appropriately reflected in their existing processes and VAT control framework.

For further information on the Decision and its practical implications, please contact us at https://www.bakertilly.ae/contact-us

POV: An Auditor's Perspective

We asked a few auditors questions that only an auditor would truly understand.

Because being an auditor is more than checking numbers. It's about understanding the business, questioning what doesn't add up, challenging assumptions, assessing the evidence, and knowing when something simply doesn't make sense.

How many of these questions would you recognise?

AI is rapidly reshaping the UAE business landscape, with 7 in 10 leaders expecting it to drive significant growth. However, as organizations accelerate their digital transformation journeys, cybersecurity cannot be an afterthought.

Sustainable transformation requires balancing innovation with resilience. Organizations that integrate strong cybersecurity practices into their AI and digital strategies will be better positioned to protect their operations, maintain stakeholder trust, and unlock long-term value.

At Baker Tilly UAE, we help organizations strengthen their cyber resilience through tailored cybersecurity, risk management, compliance, and digital risk advisory services. Learn more about our Cybersecurity Services: Baker Tilly UAE Cybersecurity Services.

As organizations rapidly adopt AI across decision-making, finance, cybersecurity and operations, governance frameworks are struggling to keep pace.

The real boardroom question is no longer "Are we using AI?" but "Is AI being governed effectively?"

In his latest article, Nawaz Saiyed, Partner at Baker Tilly UAE, explores the governance gap, the risks boards should not ignore, and the critical role of Internal Audit in providing independent assurance over AI-enabled activities.

Baker Tilly UAE launched 6-week Longevity Program for its people, developed by certified longevity specialist.

The biggest takeaway from the first week of the Longevity Program was the importance of looking ahead and visualizing the self-health conditions in 10 years from now. Equally valuable was learning relaxation techniques that help create moments of calm, reduce stress, and improve overall wellbeing.

We also took a moment to recognise and celebrate the Independence Days of India and Pakistan, a reflection of the diversity that makes our workplace stronger.
