Common questions

Do we need an Accredited Service Provider?

Yes — the UAE model requires an ASP for exchange and reporting. We help ready your data for whichever ASP you appoint.

Is the UAE clearance like Saudi?

No — it uses an Accredited Service Provider model, not central clearance. Data still has to be clean and correctly mapped.
