Reliable external auditing services in Dubai and across the UAE. Capella's expert auditors ensure the compliance, integrity, and transparency of your financial statements for accurate, trustworthy results.
An external audit is an independent examination of your company's financial statements, records, and accounting practices to confirm they are accurate, complete, and compliant with UAE laws.
Capella's qualified auditors deliver this assurance with accountability and integrity, giving authorities, banks, and stakeholders confidence in your financial position.
External audits are a legal and practical requirement for many businesses operating in the UAE, particularly free zone companies and those pursuing key approvals.
We follow a disciplined, systematic process designed to ensure accuracy, compliance, and minimal disruption to your operations.
Upon preparing the report, the auditor confirms the validity and consistency of the company's records and may request any explanations needed to complete the audit.
To ensure a smooth and accurate audit, our team gathers all essential financial documentation from your business.

Capella Tax Consultancy L.L.C is an FTA-approved Tax Agent in the UAE, helping businesses stay compliant with tax regulations. We provide VAT registration, VAT return filing, tax advisory, compliance reviews, and corporate tax services across all seven Emirates.
Mainland LLCs, joint stock companies and branches must have annual audited financial statements under the Commercial Companies Law, and many free zones (DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA, DIFC, ADGM) require audits for licence renewal. For corporate tax, audited statements are mandatory if your revenue exceeds AED 50 million in the tax period, if you are a Qualifying Free Zone Person, or if you are part of a Tax Group.
Yes. Under Ministerial Decision No. 84 of 2025, a Qualifying Free Zone Person must prepare and maintain audited financial statements regardless of revenue, with no small-business carve-out. Failing to do so can cost you the 0% corporate tax benefit.
The audit must be performed by an auditor licensed and registered in the UAE, and the financial statements must be prepared in accordance with IFRS (or IFRS for SMEs where permitted). An unlicensed or overseas-only auditor will not be accepted by the FTA.
Your corporate tax return must be filed and any tax paid within 9 months of your financial year-end, so the audit should be completed well ahead of that, ideally six to eight weeks before. For example, a 31 December 2025 year-end means a 30 September 2026 filing deadline.
You will typically need your trial balance, general ledger, bank statements, invoices, contracts, fixed asset and depreciation schedules, payroll records and prior-year statements. Non-compliance can lead to FTA penalties, loss of Qualifying Free Zone Person status, and obstacles to trade licence renewal; we do not quote fixed fees as audit cost depends on the engagement scope.
