Audit Services in the UAE

An audit is an independent examination of your financial statements against an applicable reporting framework, resulting in an opinion on whether they present a true and fair view. For many UAE entities it is not optional: most free zone authorities require audited financial statements as a condition of licence renewal, and mainland companies may need them for banking facilities, shareholder reporting, or the substantiation of a corporate tax return. We conduct statutory audits of financial statements prepared under IFRS and IFRS for SMEs, and we work from your accounting records rather than reconstructing them — which is why the quality of your bookkeeping largely determines how long an audit takes and what it costs. Where records are incomplete, we say so early rather than at the end. Beyond the statutory audit we run internal audit and risk reviews for businesses that want assurance over their own controls: how payments are authorised, how inventory is counted, where a single person holds incompatible responsibilities, and which processes would fail under scrutiny. These engagements are advisory and do not produce a statutory opinion. An audit opinion is an opinion on the financial statements. It is not a guarantee that a business is solvent, compliant with every regulation, or free from fraud, and we are careful not to present it as one.
