ICV Certification in UAE

Companies that have successfully completed an ICV Audit and proven their compliance with the ICV Program requirements are granted the official CV (In-Country Value) Certification in the United Arab Emirates. A certified ICV auditor must conduct an ICV Audit on a company in order for it to receive ICV Certification.

All ADNOC suppliers are required by ADNOC’s ICV program to declare their ICV achievement (ICV Certificate). An annual third-party certification of the ICV Certificate numbers is required by ADNOC. These days, ADNOC’s tender evaluation and award procedure includes the ICV assessment as a mandatory component. Every year, one of ADNOC’s Certifying Bodies must conduct a third-party verification of the data in the ICV Certificate.

As one of the leading ICV Certifying bodies in the United Arab Emirates, BMS Auditing provides ICV Certification Services to businesses by evaluating their operations, carrying out ICV Audits, and monitoring their ICV Score in order to conform to national standards and so help the business to a higher degree.

Why is an ICV certificate required in the UAE for a company?

In its attempts to strengthen the UAE’s economy, your company is demonstrating its respectability with the ICV Certification in Dubai. Businesses will stand out from the competition if they bid on government and semi-government opportunities. A copy of the applicant’s National ICV Certificate score will be required during the tender review. The likelihood of winning the tender is reduced for those without the Certificate, as they will default to a score of 0/-.

Still, businesses who choose not to compete with government or semi-government organizations may find the National ICV certificate advantageous. The purpose of the ICV Certificate in Dubai is to stimulate the economy of the United Arab Emirates, with the hope that this will enhance local supply chains. Businesses who obtain this accreditation will experience an increase in demand as more established businesses would consider them as possible suppliers. The reason for this is that the certificate raises the customer’s ICV score. 

Vital Details about ICV Certification

  • ICV certification relies on the latest audited financial statements adhering to IFRS standards, not exceeding two years from the certification year.
  • In order to calculate their ICV, newly founded companies (less than ten months old) who do not have audited financial statements may use management accounts going back up to 10 months.
  • An ICV certificate is valid for fourteen months after the date the audited financial statements are issued.
  • The added economic value that the entity’s goods or services bring to the nation is evaluated, and ICV Scores are established using a predetermined methodology.
  • Vendors and suppliers are given more weight throughout the award process thanks in large part to ICV Scores, which are crucial in proposal evaluation.
  • The ICV certification scheme benefits entities indirectly associated with tenders since it includes expenditure by ICV-certified suppliers in the nation or in the local economy when calculating ICV.
  • Businesses who successfully complete an ICV Audit and receive high ICV scores are eligible for ICV Certification, which is valid for a year and can be renewed after another successful ICV Audit.
