What the audit support covers.
Assistance with selecting and appointing a registered UAE or KSA auditor — appropriate to the size and complexity of the entity and the requirements of the relevant authority.
Preparation of the audit file — including financial statements, supporting schedules, reconciliations, and explanatory notes — to minimise auditor queries and time.
Preparation of statutory financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, notes) under IFRS or applicable accounting standards — ready for auditor sign-off.
Management of the audit process — responding to auditor queries, providing supporting documentation, and coordinating between the client and the audit firm.
Preparation and submission of audited financial statements to the relevant free zone authority (DMCC, JAFZA, ADGM, etc.) — meeting annual submission deadlines.
Support for addressing auditor findings — implementing recommended accounting changes and control improvements before the following year.
How an engagement works.
Prepare year-end journals, accruals, and prepayments. Reconcile all balance sheet accounts.
Prepare draft financial statements in the required format and accounting standard.
Compile the complete audit file — financial statements, supporting schedules, bank confirmations, and prior year comparatives.
Submit the audit file, respond to queries, and manage the audit timeline to meet the submission deadline.
Submit the approved audited accounts to the relevant free zone authority or Ministry of Economy as required.
Markets we cover.
How we differ.
- Audit file incomplete — extensive back-and-forth with auditor
- Financial statements prepared by audit firm at high cost
- Free zone submission deadlines missed — licence renewal blocked
- Audit findings not addressed — same issues repeated next year
- Management time consumed by audit administration
- Audit file prepared proactively — minimal auditor queries
- Financial statements prepared in-house — auditor signs off rather than prepares
- Free zone submission timelines tracked and met proactively
- Audit findings followed up with control improvements
- Management freed from audit administration — handled end-to-end
end-to-end.
