    Frequently Asked Questions

    An external audit is an independent examination of a company’s financial statements to ensure accuracy, compliance, and transparency. It verifies that the financial records present a true and fair view of the company’s performance, in line with UAE and international accounting standards.

    An external audit in Dubai is crucial for maintaining credibility and compliance with UAE laws. It helps identify errors, prevent fraud, ensure regulatory adherence, and build investor confidence — all while enhancing financial integrity and decision-making.

    All companies registered in Dubai Mainland and most Free Zones (including DMCC, DIFC, DAFZA, and JAFZA) are required to conduct external audits annually. This ensures compliance with the UAE Commercial Companies Law and the relevant regulations of the Free Zone authority.

    Typically, companies must conduct an annual external audit to renew their trade license and meet regulatory obligations. However, some businesses may also opt for mid-year or special-purpose audits, depending on stakeholder requirements.

    The external audit process includes planning, risk assessment, evidence collection, report drafting, and final presentation. During this process, auditors review your accounting records, test controls, and verify financial data to issue an unbiased audit report.

    The duration of an external audit in the UAE depends on company size and complexity. For most SMEs, the audit can take 2–4 weeks. Larger corporations may require additional time for detailed verification and consolidated reporting.

    To conduct an audit, businesses must provide:
    • Financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow)
    • General ledger and trial balance
    • Invoices, bank statements, and expense records
    • VAT filings and tax documents
    • Supporting contracts and agreements
    Providing accurate and complete documents ensures a smooth external audit process.
