We map the work to the rules that apply to you, such as the federal Personal Data Protection Law, the TDRA information assurance standards and any emirate or free zone requirements, and prepare the evidence in a form your compliance team can file.

Budgets, forecasts and consolidation on a planning model finance can run without a developer. Hosn Al Tomoh works with organisations in the United Arab Emirates on planning and performance management, agreeing scope, responsibilities and proof of completion for each phase from the start.
Performance management platforms carry budgeting, forecasting, consolidation and board reporting. The heart of the work is the planning model: which drivers move revenue and cost, at what level of detail, and who owns each assumption.
In the UAE, the federal Personal Data Protection Law sets the baseline, government and critical-sector entities follow the information assurance standards issued by TDRA, DIFC has its own data protection law and ADGM its own data protection regulations. Banks also answer to the Central Bank of the UAE. We plan hosting, data classification and evidence around these from the start, and quote in UAE dirhams.
Work runs in short phases you can review. We strengthen your team with specialist people where you need them, and each phase closes with a demonstration and a decision on what comes next.
The scope can run from a short diagnostic to a phased rollout, and each phase is fixed before it starts.
What has to go right
These are the factors that usually decide whether the programme meets its goals.
- Driver-based models that finance can change without a developer.
- Actuals loaded from ERP on a schedule and reconciled to the ledger.
- A close and consolidation calendar with a named owner for each step.
Where programmes go wrong
Planning projects fail when the model copies every tab of the old spreadsheets. We agree the level of detail and the drivers with finance before building, so the model stays fast and easy to maintain.
We record decisions, responsibilities and test results as we go, so internal audit and regulators can trace every decision and who approved it.
Common questions
What buyers usually ask before a first workshop.
No. Many finance teams keep spreadsheets as a front end for input and analysis, while the model, the data and the approvals live in the planning platform.
Yes. We document the current integrations first and keep existing systems running alongside the new ones until the switch-over is proven.
Stages of the work
A phased approach, from assessment to knowledge transfer.
Assess
We review the current state, the risks and the quick wins.
Plan
We draw up a phased plan with scope, team, responsibilities and acceptance criteria for each phase.
Deliver and verify
We deliver in phases and show that each one meets its criteria.
Transfer knowledge
We document what we built and train your teams to run and change it.
