Audit preparation

Audit coming up? Walk in with books your auditor will accept.

An audit shouldn't be a fire drill. Get every balance supported and your auditor's questions handled.

Confidential · 30 minutes · No obligation

An audit should confirm what you already know, not reveal what you didn't.

Sound familiar?

Audit season shouldn't feel like this

✕ Your auditor's request list keeps growing

✕ Prior years were never properly closed

✕ Cash sales or old balances nobody can explain

✕ The deadline is close and the books aren't

The cost of waiting

A messy audit costs more than the fee

Delays and extra fees

Auditors charge for the time they spend chasing missing support.

A qualified opinion

Balances that cannot be supported can lead to a qualified audit report, which banks and investors read closely.

Licence and tax knock-ons

Many free zones need audited accounts to renew a licence, and corporate tax relies on the same numbers.

The rules, in brief

What the law asks of you

Who needs an audit

Qualifying free zone companies need audited financial statements to keep the 0% corporate tax rate, and so does any business with revenue above AED 50 million. Most mainland companies must appoint an auditor under the Commercial Companies Law, and many free zones require audited accounts to renew a licence.

Keeping records

Corporate tax law requires accounting records and supporting documents to be kept for at least seven years. Failing to keep proper records carries a penalty of AED 10,000, rising to AED 20,000 for a repeat.

What audit-ready means

A trial balance you can produce on demand, every bank reconciled to its statements, VAT and corporate tax filings that trace back to the ledger, and related-party balances that agree.

FAQ

Questions founders ask us

Do I need an audit?

Most mainland companies do under the Commercial Companies Law, and qualifying free zone companies do to keep the 0% rate. Others depend on licence, revenue and lenders. If you're not sure, we confirm it in the finance deep dive.

Can you work with our existing auditor?

Yes. We prepare the books and supporting files, and deal with your auditor directly.

What if prior years are a mess?

That's common. We bring prior years into shape so the books stand up, and scope that work in the finance deep dive first.

How quickly can you get us ready?

It depends on how far behind the books are. The finance deep dive sets a realistic date, and we hold to it.

Do you do the audit?

No. Your auditor stays independent. We get the books ready and handle their questions.

What does it cost?

Staying audit-ready is part of one monthly fee. If prior years need rebuilding first, that work is scoped and priced in the finance deep dive.
