Hospitality

Audit and reporting support for hospitality operators, service groups and UAE regional headquarters.

Overview

Hospitality can involve multi-location revenue, franchise or management fees, payroll intensity, service contracts and recharge arrangements.

Hospitality businesses operate in fast-moving environments where revenue, payroll, procurement, leases, service charges and intercompany arrangements require disciplined financial control. For entities in the hospitality sector, groups using the UAE as a regional base, clear reporting is also essential for shareholders, owners and overseas consolidation teams.

RAA provides audit and assurance support for hospitality operators from restaurants to holiday tour companies. We focus on the financial statement areas that typically carry risk: revenue recognition, cut-off, cash controls, payroll, procurement, inventory, leases, management fees, recharges and related party transactions.

Our approach is designed to be practical and coordinated. We seek to understand the operating model, the reporting requirements of owners or group finance teams, and the local compliance obligations that affect the entity. The result is an audit that supports compliance while also giving management useful observations on processes and controls.
