Premier ICV Certification Services in Dubai

A country’s economy relies on sound public spending to function effectively. In the UAE, the In-Country Value (ICV) Program plays a key role in strengthening the local market. By embedding local content across all economic sectors, the program ensures that a greater share of spending remains within the national economy.

The ICV Program reshapes government operations to achieve broader economic objectives, such as boosting local production, creating jobs, and attracting investment. These goals are guided by clear strategies, comprehensive plans, and a forward-looking economic vision enshrined in national laws and policies.

Why ICV Certification Matters for Your Business

Obtaining ICV certification offers significant advantages for companies, particularly by enabling their participation in government tenders. More importantly, it enhances their financial contribution to the local economy. This positive impact is driven by three key factors:

  1. Emiratization – promoting the employment and training of UAE nationals.
  2. Investment – encouraging reinvestment into local business operations and assets.
  3. Locally Produced Goods and Services – prioritizing domestic manufacturing and service providers.

To advance these objectives, all federal and local government entities, as well as semi-government organizations, have joined forces to drive the ICV program forward.

Aim of ICV Certification

One of the primary aims of ICV certification is to significantly strengthen local supply chains, while also diversifying and reinforcing the UAE’s national economy.

An ICV-certified entity is well-positioned to increase Emiratization within the private sector and facilitate the transfer of advanced technology and data to local businesses.

Purpose of ICV Certification

ICV certification evaluates the value-added contribution of an entity to the UAE economy across the following areas:

  • Local manufacturing
  • Local investment
  • Procurement of third-party goods and services
  • Expatriate contribution
  • Emiratization of the workforce
  • Generation of income from outside the United Arab Emirates

AML Requirements for an ICV Certificate

To obtain an ICV certificate, companies must meet the following key requirements:

01

Audited Financial Statements

Submit financial statements compiled and audited in accordance with IFRS for the last two years.

02

Validity of Financial Audits

The submitted financial audits must not be older than two years from the date of certification.

03

Management Accounts for New Companies

For companies established less than ten months ago, management accounts may be used for ICV certification. However, if the company is more than nine months old, audited management accounts are required.

04

Trade License as a Separate Legal Entity

For ICV certification purposes, each firm’s trade license is treated as a separate legal entity. This applies even when ownership structures are identical across multiple licenses.

05

Single Certificate for Branches

A single ICV certificate may be granted to a company with several branches located in the same emirate, provided they perform similar activities and share the same ownership structure.

Key Requirements for AML in the UAE

01

Know Your Customer (KYC)

When operating in the UAE, it is mandatory to verify the identities and business activities of your customers before any transaction takes place.

02

Suspicious Transactions Reporting

If something feels suspicious, report it. Once shared with the UAE’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), these activities are thoroughly investigated.

03

Keep the Records Clean

Good records are not optional. Businesses are required to maintain every log, customer document, and record for the duration of the activity period, as often required by regulators.

04

Spot the Risk

AML regulations are not one-size-fits-all. The UAE requires businesses to regularly assess, promptly identify, and report risks related to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT).
