Audit
Statutory audits that pass the first review
Free zone renewals, the 0% qualifying rate, banks and serious counterparties all ask for audited accounts. We run the audit through registered auditors so the report lands on time and survives scrutiny.
Who actually needs an audit
- Free zone companies whose zone requires audited accounts at renewal, DMCC and JAFZA among them
- Any company claiming the 0% qualifying free zone rate, where audit is a condition
- Companies above the corporate tax audit thresholds
- Businesses raising finance or facing bank reviews
- Groups with parent-company reporting requirements
How we run it
Audits fail on preparation, not on the audit itself. We close the books properly first, reconcile the balances an auditor will test, and assemble the evidence file before fieldwork starts. The audit then runs through Ministry-registered audit partners, with findings resolved before the report is signed rather than flagged after.
The signed report feeds directly into your corporate tax filing and zone renewal, so one exercise serves every deadline that depends on it.
Questions
Audit & Assurance, asked and answered
Does every UAE company need an audit?
No. Small mainland companies below thresholds often file on management accounts. The common triggers are zone rules, the qualifying free zone tax position, bank requirements and group reporting. We confirm your specific obligation before you pay for anything.
How long does an audit take?
A prepared small company completes in two to four weeks from fieldwork to signed report. Unreconciled books stretch that badly, which is why we close the accounts before the auditor arrives.
What does an audit cost?
Small-company statutory audits typically start around AED 5,000 to 8,000, scaling with transaction volume and complexity. Bundled with monthly bookkeeping, the total usually beats fixing a year of records at audit time.
