Producing the FTA Audit File

What you will be able to do when you finish: say precisely what the FAF is and which document specifies it, read the seven sections Odoone produces against the three tables in the specification, bind every tax in your chart to a FAF code, tell 0% EX and 0% EXT apart under pressure, run Validate → Preview → Generate & Download knowing which findings block a file and which never do, and manage the archive so the file you handed an auditor is still the file you can prove you handed over.

Who this is for. You keep the books for a UAE business, or you are the person an auditor's request would land on. You do not need to be a tax specialist. You do need to know what a tax, a journal entry and a partner record are. The course assumes the shared UAE tax configuration from course 2.1 is already in place, because the FAF reads your Tax Registration Number (TRN) from it rather than holding its own.

How to follow along. Install the app from Apps → Odoone UAE FTA Audit File (FAF), or with -i odoone_uae_faf. Every menu path, button and field name quoted here is taken from the module's own user guide. The worked examples follow one sample trading company, Al Quoz Industrial Supplies LLC, through a single quarter — 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026 — and every figure is computed, so you can check the arithmetic against ours line by line. Your own figures will differ.

The specification facts in this course were verified against the FTA's Requirements Document for Tax Accounting Software on 18 August 2026.
