Who Needs an Audit?

Audited financial statements are increasingly required across the UAE—by free zone authorities, banks, investors, and for corporate tax and regulatory purposes. SMEs and established companies alike benefit from independent assurance.

If your business needs to demonstrate financial credibility, meet licensing conditions, or support a transfer pricing position, a professional audit is essential.

  • UAE mainland and free zone companies
  • Businesses meeting corporate tax obligations
  • Companies seeking bank facilities or investment
  • Groups requiring transfer pricing documentation

Why It Matters in the UAE

With corporate tax and evolving FTA requirements, accurate and independent reporting is no longer optional. A clean audit protects you during regulatory review and builds trust with every stakeholder.

Our transfer pricing support helps related-party transactions stay defensible and compliant with UAE rules.

Fieldwork & Testing

We test transactions, verify balances, confirm bank and third-party records, and assess compliance with IFRS and UAE requirements, requesting supporting documents as we go.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Under Ministerial Decision No. 84 of 2025, audited financial statements are mandatory for any taxable person earning revenue above AED 50 million in a tax period, all Qualifying Free Zone Persons (regardless of revenue) wanting the 0% rate, and all tax groups. Mainland LLCs and joint stock companies are also generally required to have annual audits under the UAE Commercial Companies Law.

Yes. To remain a Qualifying Free Zone Person and benefit from the 0% corporate tax rate, you must maintain audited financial statements regardless of your revenue, in addition to filing a corporate tax return within nine months of your financial year-end.

The corporate tax return, supported by audited financial statements where required, must be filed within nine months of the financial year-end; for example, a year ending 31 December 2025 has a deadline of 30 September 2026. Free zone authorities may set their own separate audit submission deadlines, often six months after year-end.

You must retain accounting records and supporting documents that clearly show your financial position for at least five years after the end of the relevant tax period, and the FTA can request them during this time.

Failure to keep the required records and audited financial statements triggers FTA administrative penalties, and inadequate documentation can also lead to a Qualifying Free Zone Person losing the 0% rate. We recommend confirming the exact penalty amounts against the current FTA penalty schedule before filing.
