تسرب الإيرادات من عدم التتبع الدقيق للعمليات
Estimated 2-5% of total per-unit royalty revenue annually. For a vendor with AED 1M annual royalty revenue: AED 20,000–50,000 loss/year. Plus 20-30 manual invoice-correction hours/month @ AED 150/hour = AED 3,000-4,500/month.Per-unit royalty invoicing requires transaction-level accuracy. Manual processes across fragmented data sources (CRM, ERP, product databases) create blind spots: unbilled units, misaligned contract terms, late invoice generation. Each missed unit = immediate revenue leakage and deferred cash flow.
غرامات عدم الامتثال - فواتير غير متوافقة مع FTA (Compliance & Penalties - Non-Compliant Invoicing)
VAT penalty: 25% of disputed amount; Corporate Tax recalculation: 9% on 2–5 years of back revenue. Typical exposure for AED 50M business: AED 500K–2.5M.Non-compliant invoicing (manual, unstructured, late issuance >14 days) triggers VAT audit penalties. Estimated penalty: 25% of undeclared VAT liability + Corporate Tax (9%) recalculation on disputed revenue. For AED 50M revenue portfolio: AED 2M–5M VAT exposure × 25% = AED 500K–1.25M penalty risk.

3–5% customer churn; 10–15% deal velocity reduction; for AED 100M annual pipeline: AED 3M–7.5M lost opportunity.Manual milestone verification and invoice generation delays cause buyer frustration. Buyers cannot accept milestones without compliant invoices; payment processing stalls; next milestone delayed. GCC data shows 72% reduction in checkout abandonment with embedded payment solutions, suggesting significant process friction in current manual workflows.

VAT audit penalty: 5-25% of unpaid VAT (per Article 95 of VAT Law). For AED 1M annual royalty revenue: unpaid VAT ~AED 50,000; penalty range AED 2,500–12,500. E-invoice non-compliance (2027 onward): AED 5,000–50,000 per infraction. Corporate Tax filing errors: up to 25% penalty + back interest. Combined annual exposure: AED 20,000–100,000+.Manual per-unit invoicing creates compliance risks: (1) Delayed VAT reporting due to late invoice generation; (2) No audit trail for per-unit transactions; (3) Non-compliant invoice format (not ASP-issued post-Jan 1, 2027); (4) Transfer pricing documentation gaps for multi-entity royalty payments. FTA audits of software/tech companies increasingly target revenue recognition accuracy.
