Audit Assistance in the UAE

We prepare your records, organise supporting documents and liaise with external auditors — making your annual statutory audit smooth, accurate and stress-free.

01The challenge

Many UAE companies must have their financial statements audited every year. A messy set of books turns audit season into a scramble: auditors’ queries pile up, documents go missing, and deadlines slip.

02What UAE law requires

Audit requirements are common across the UAE:

  • Many mainland companies (under the Commercial Companies Law) must prepare audited financial statements annually.
  • Most free zones — such as DMCC, JAFZA and DAFZA — require audited accounts for licence renewal.
  • Companies must keep accounting records (commonly for 5 years or more).
  • Audited statements are also expected by banks, investors and, increasingly, for tax purposes.

Audit obligations per the UAE Commercial Companies Law and free-zone authorities.

We make audit season painless:

Frequently asked

Does my company need an audit?
It depends on your jurisdiction and free zone. Many mainland companies and most free zones require an annual audit — we can confirm your obligation.
Do you act as the auditor?
No. We prepare your records and statements and liaise with your independent external auditor, who signs off the audit — as required for independence.
What do you need from me?
Access to your books, bank statements and key documents. We organise everything else and manage the auditor relationship.
