What Is ICV Audit?
An ICV audit is an independent verification of a company’s In-Country Value spend, assessing local procurement, Emiratisation, and investment data to calculate an official ICV score. This score is used to determine eligibility and scoring advantages when bidding for contracts with ADNOC, government entities, and other ICV-driven procurement programs in the UAE. The audit must be conducted by an ICV-certified auditor and submitted through the ICV certification body to generate a valid ICV Certificate.
