Ministry of Economy — AML/CFT & Commercial Supervision
Ministerial Decision No. (117) of 2026 on Standards, Controls and Accreditation Requirements for Valuers of In-Kind Contributions
Establishes a mandatory central register of MOET-accredited valuers for non-cash (in-kind) capital contributions to UAE companies, requiring compliance with International Valuation Standards/RICS Red Book, conflict-of-interest bans, a 3-month data-currency limit and 6-month report validity, plus a 1-year transitional period for existing valuers — operationalising the in-kind contribution provisions introduced by the 2025 Commercial Companies Law amendment (MOE-2025-003).
What firms should do
Yes — company formation/M&A teams using in-kind contributions must engage only MOET-accredited valuers going forward
