About the audit

Who needs an audit in the UAE

Not everyone in the UAE needs an audit: the obligation depends on the jurisdiction of registration and the company's regime. Some free zones require audited accounts to renew the licence — without the report the licence isn't renewed.

Banks also ask for an audit when reviewing account terms, and counterparties do on large transactions.

What else

What an audit gives you beyond meeting the requirement

  • The report needed to renew the licence where the free zone requires it
  • Confirmation of the accounts for the bank
  • A check on entitlement to tax reliefs before they're claimed
  • Finding bookkeeping errors before a tax inspection

The exact requirements depend on the free zone and the company's regime — we confirm them on a consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Does every UAE company need an audit?
No. The obligation depends on the jurisdiction of registration and the company's regime: some free zones require audited accounts to renew the licence, others don't.
What happens if you skip the audit where it's mandatory?
The free zone won't renew the licence. Without a valid licence the company loses the basis for employees' visas and for banking.
What has to be ready for the audit?
The accounting registers and source documents for the period: contracts, invoices, acts, bank statements. The auditor checks not the figures in the report but what backs them up.
When should we start to be ready for the licence renewal?
Early: the auditor asks for explanations of unclear transactions, and those take time. Rebuilding the books in the week before the deadline is the most expensive scenario.
Terms

The terms the expert works on

Guarantees the outcome by contract

Writes the outcome and the timeline for every service — including opening a bank account — into the contract, and answers for them.

Bills in stages

You do not pay the whole sum up front: invoices come in instalments as each stage closes.

Fixes the price in the contract

The cost is locked in and does not grow as the work goes on. Prices on the site are indicative — the final figure comes after your case is reviewed.

Charges no hidden fees

No penalties or surcharges beyond the contract. No Pactors markup either: you pay the expert their own price.

Works with lawyers of 8+ years in UAE law

The licence for your activity is matched, and the requirements worked through, by qualified lawyers.

Thinks a step ahead

Picks the zone and the licence so that a year from now you do not hit a limit and have to redo the whole thing.

Deals with authorities directly

Handles government bodies, free zones and UAE banks personally — no chain of subcontractors.
