FAQ
External Audit: questions answered
Can the same firm keep our books and audit them?
Independence rules limit this. Where we provide accounting services to you, we will discuss independence safeguards or recommend a separate arrangement so the audit remains objective.
How long does an audit take?
It depends on the size of the business and how ready the records are. We agree a realistic timetable at the start based on your deadline.
Do I need audited financial statements for Corporate Tax?
Audited statements are required for Corporate Tax purposes for businesses with revenue above AED 50 million and for Qualifying Free Zone Persons. Your licensing authority or bank may also require an audit.
