Frequently Asked Questions About Audit And Assurance Services In Dubai

Is it mandatory for every company in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah to get an annual audit?

In most cases, yes. UAE Commercial Companies Law requires mainland LLCs and JSCs to conduct an annual audit. Additionally, most free zone policies state that financial statements must be audited for license renewal. The implementation of UAE corporate tax also encourages audits to sustain "Qualifying Person" status and provide proof for tax submissions.

What is the difference between internal and external audits?

While both deal with financial records, their objectives differ:

External Audit: An independent assessment mandated by law to determine if financial statements are correct and meet IFRS standards. The report is used by government entities, banks, and shareholders.
Internal Audit: A management tool used to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls, risk management, and operational performance.

. What is the duration of the audit process in the UAE?

The timeline depends on company size and the quality of record-keeping. On average:

Small and Medium Enterprises: 2 to 3 weeks.
Large Companies: 4 to 8 weeks. Digital audit methods can significantly reduce these durations through automated data gathering.

Which free zones require an "approved auditor"?

The majority of major free zones maintain an explicit "Approved Auditors List." You are generally required to select a firm from these registered lists to ensure your audit report is accepted for license renewal.

Can an audit help in minimizing UAE corporate tax liability?

An audit ensures you are accurately claiming all legitimate deductions and benefits. It establishes the "Taxable Income" that the FTA expects, thereby reducing the risk of penalties during a tax audit.

Which documents need to be ready for the audit?

To ensure a smooth procedure, prepare the following:

Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, and P&L Statement.
Bank statements and reconciliation reports.
Details of VAT returns and corporate tax submissions.
Major contracts (leases, purchase agreements, supplier contracts).
Fixed asset registers and inventory valuation reports.
