Our audit scope covers mainland companies and free zone entities registered in DMCC, JAFZA, IFZA, RAKEZ, Sharjah Media City (Shams), Ajman Free Zone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai South, DIFC, and DAFZA.

Each audit report we issue carries the signature of a licensed auditor registered with the UAE Ministry of Economy.

Benefits of Our Auditing and Assurance Services
1. Stronger Business Credibility
Audited financial statements build trust with banks, investors, government authorities, and business partners. UAE banks such as Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, RAKBank, Dubai Islamic Bank, and FAB require audited reports for loan approvals, credit line extensions, and trade finance applications. Free zone authorities across DMCC, JAFZA, IFZA, and RAKEZ mandate annual audits for license renewal. Companies that maintain accurate bookkeeping records receive cleaner audit opinions with fewer adjustments.
2. Early Error and Penalty Prevention
Regular audits identify financial errors, control weaknesses, and compliance gaps before they become penalties. Late VAT filing penalties start at AED 1,000 for the first offense and increase to AED 2,000 for repeat cases within 24 months. Late corporate tax registration carries a penalty of AED 10,000. Cabinet Decision No. 129 of 2025 introduces revised penalty amounts effective April 14, 2026. An audit catches miscalculations in VAT and corporate tax records before FTA review.
3. Clear Financial Insights
Independent audit reports provide an objective view of your company's financial health and operational efficiency. Management receives clear findings on revenue recognition, expense classification, asset valuation, and liability reporting. Internal audits reveal process gaps in payroll, procurement, and inventory that cost money over time. These insights support better budgeting, cost control, and strategic planning across all business departments.

Our Process
1
Audit Planning and Scope Definition
We review your business structure, industry, prior audit reports, and regulatory requirements. Our team defines the audit scope, timeline, materiality thresholds, and key risk areas. We share a detailed engagement letter and document request list before fieldwork begins.
2
Fieldwork and Evidence Collection
Our auditors examine financial records, test transactions, verify account balances, and evaluate internal controls. We collect audit evidence through document inspection, analytical procedures, confirmations with banks and third parties, and physical verification of assets where applicable.
3
Findings Review and Draft Report
We compile all audit findings, adjustments, and observations into a draft audit report. Our team discusses preliminary results with management and allows time for responses to any issues identified. Material misstatements and control weaknesses receive detailed recommendations.

Final Audit Report Issuance
The lead auditor reviews the complete engagement file and issues the signed audit report with the appropriate opinion. We deliver the final report in PDF and hard copy formats, ready for submission to free zone authorities, banks, the FTA, or investors.
Frequently Asked Questions
We perform statutory audits, internal audits, compliance audits, special purpose audits, due diligence audits, and agreed-upon procedures (AUP) engagements. Each audit type serves a different purpose, from regulatory compliance to investor due diligence and management review.
Free zone companies must submit audited financial statements annually for trade license renewal. Mainland LLCs and PJSCs also require statutory audits under UAE Commercial Companies Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021). The specific audit requirement depends on your company type and licensing authority.
All our audits follow International Standards on Auditing (ISA) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Financial statements under audit are verified against IFRS reporting standards. This framework is recognized by UAE regulatory authorities, banks, and investors.
A standard annual audit takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on company size, transaction volume, and record quality. Companies with well-organized books and complete documentation receive faster turnaround. We offer expedited audit timelines for urgent free zone license renewal deadlines.
We need your trial balance, general ledger, bank statements, sales and purchase invoices, payroll records, fixed asset register, and prior year financial statements. Loan agreements, lease contracts, and intercompany transaction records are also required if applicable. We provide a full document checklist at the engagement start.
Yes, most UAE free zones require audited financial statements for annual trade license renewal. This includes DMCC, JAFZA, IFZA, RAKEZ, Sharjah Media City, Ajman Free Zone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai South, DIFC, and DAFZA. We prepare and issue audit reports accepted by all free zone authorities.
An internal audit evaluates a company's own processes, controls, and risk management, while an external audit provides an independent opinion on financial statements. Internal audits serve management and the board. External audits serve shareholders, regulators, banks, and other external stakeholders.
Yes, UAE banks including Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, RAKBank, and FAB require audited financial statements for loan approvals and credit facility applications. Audited reports verify your company's revenue, profitability, assets, and liabilities. Banks treat audited figures as more reliable than management-prepared statements.
An audit verifies the accuracy of taxable income calculations, deductible expenses, and exempt income reported to the FTA. Corporate tax applies at 9% on income above AED 375,000 under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Audit-verified tax figures reduce the risk of FTA reassessments and penalties.
A qualified opinion means the auditor found specific issues in the financial statements but the overall reports are still largely accurate. This differs from an unqualified (clean) opinion where no material issues exist. Adverse opinions and disclaimers indicate more serious concerns about the financial data.
Yes, we conduct audits for businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain. Our cloud-based audit tools and secure document portals allow full remote audit delivery. On-site fieldwork is available for companies that require physical verification of assets or inventory.
Yes, we audit companies using QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, Sage, Odoo, and other accounting platforms. Our team extracts and verifies data from any FTA-authorized software. We also audit companies that maintain manual or spreadsheet-based records.
We report all material errors and misstatements to management with specific corrective recommendations. Minor errors get adjusted during the audit process. Significant issues may require restatement of financial statements or voluntary disclosure to the FTA depending on the nature of the finding.
Audit fees depend on company size, transaction volume, number of branches, and complexity of operations. A small single-entity company pays less than a multi-branch enterprise with intercompany transactions. We provide a fixed-fee quote after the initial scope assessment with no hidden charges.
