Understanding Audit Support Services in Dubai, UAE

Financial statement audits

For these assignments, our work normally includes liaising with the external auditor, obtaining quotations where required, coordinating the preparation of financial information and audit schedules, and helping the client respond to routine audit information requests.

The company remains responsible for its accounting records, financial statements and information provided for the audit. The independent auditor remains responsible for conducting the audit and issuing the audit opinion.

Audit support services may be provided alongside our Accounting Services in Dubai or as a standalone support service, depending on the client’s requirements.

Operational audits

These audits are performed to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization’s internal controls and operational processes. Operational audits can be conducted on any aspect of an organization’s operations, such as its sales and marketing processes, its manufacturing processes, or its customer service processes.

Operational audits may be carried out as a one-off review assignment.

Unlike an external financial statement audit, an operational review is generally commissioned for internal management purposes. The scope and reporting line depend on the organisation’s governance arrangements, and findings may be reported to management, the board or an audit committee, as applicable.

Compliance audits

These audits are performed to assess an organization’s compliance with internal controls, policies and procedures as established by the management. Such audits may also be carried out to assess compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

Compliance audits can be conducted on any type of law or regulation, such as employment laws, and financial or environmental regulations.

Compliance reviews may be carried out as one-off or recurring assignments. The reporting frequency and recipients depend on the agreed scope and the organisation’s governance structure, and reports may be provided to management, directors or an audit committee, as applicable.

Information systems audits

These audits are performed to assess the security and effectiveness of an organization’s information systems. Information systems audits can be conducted on any type of information system, such as a company’s accounting system, its customer relationship management system, or its website.

Information systems audits are very specialised and technical in nature and are usually conducted by staff trained in information technology review and assessment. Such audits assess the effectiveness and compliance with controls within the company’s IT infrastructure as well as its readiness to withstand challenges emanating from outside the company’s IT ecosystem.

Forensic audits

These audits are performed to investigate specific allegations of financial fraud or other wrongdoing. Forensic audits can be very complex and require specialized skills and experience.

A forensic audit in Dubai report may be required to establish the nature and the quantum of financial wrongdoing and may also be required to identify and name specific individuals who may be responsible. Such reports may be required for submission to police and/or the court in support of legal proceedings.

In addition, we support our clients with specialized audit and/or review services such as Due Diligence and Agreed Upon Procedures. Such assignments are required in cases where the company requires a specific aspect of operations or financials or a specific area of activity or controls to be audited.

Such assignments are often required to be carried out in connection with the takeover of a business, amalgamation or restructuring or where the management would like to obtain comfort regarding a specific aspect of their company’s activities and operations. The assignment involves agreeing on a bespoke scope of work with the client and presenting our findings to the client after completing work.

We will be pleased to meet with you and to discuss and understand your peculiar requirements. We will then arrange to provide you a service suitable for your needs. Please contact us if you need to get your company’s financials audited by reputed audit firms in Dubai and the UAE or any other related service.

In Dubai mainland, UAE authorities do not normally mandate annual financial audits, but companies often engage external auditors for the preparation of audited financial statements.

Such an audit may be required to ensure the company’s financial statements comply with international accounting standards and to submit such statements to banks and other stakeholders.

Following the implementation of corporate tax, however, audited accounts are now required to be prepared for companies operating in the UAE’s more than 40 free zone jurisdictions. Additionally, mainland companies that have an annual turnover in excess of AED 50 million are also required to maintain audited financial statements.

At Beaufort, personalized assistance and attention are not merely standard practices, they are ingrained principles that we uphold. We invest substantial time and effort in understanding client requirements and in developing a proposal that is tailored to address their needs.

For businesses seeking audit support in Dubai, Beaufort Associates can assist with audit coordination, financial preparation and related support to help the process run efficiently and support accurate financial reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is audit mandatory for companies in Dubai?

Audit requirements depend on the company’s legal form and regulatory framework. Under the UAE Commercial Companies Law, limited liability companies (LLCs) and joint stock companies must have their accounts audited annually. Free Zone companies and regulated businesses may also be subject to separate audit requirements under the rules of their relevant authority.

Legal Reference
Federal Decree-Law No. (32) of 2021 on Commercial Companies, Article 27
DMCC – Guidance Note, sections “Auditor” and “When to Prepare and Submit Financial Accounts”

2. Which companies are required to have an audit in the UAE?

Audit requirements depend on legal form and regulatory regime. Common examples include:

• Limited liability companies (LLCs) and joint stock companies under the UAE Commercial Companies Law.
• Qualifying Free Zone Persons (Free Zone businesses that meet the conditions for the special Corporate Tax regime).
• A Taxable Person (for example, a company subject to Corporate Tax) with Revenue exceeding AED 50 million in the relevant Tax Period, where it is not a Tax Group.
• Tax Groups, which must prepare audited special-purpose financial statements for Corporate Tax purposes.
• Free Zone or regulated entities where their relevant authority separately requires an audit.

Banks or lenders may also request audited financial statements as a commercial condition, but this is not a general statutory audit requirement.

DMCC – Application Guidelines: Submission of Audited Financial Statements and Summary Sheet, sections “Policy” and “Requirements”

3. What is the purpose of a statutory audit?

A statutory financial statement audit provides an independent auditor’s opinion on whether the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework (the accounting rules used to prepare the statements), such as IFRS where applicable. This can support transparency and stakeholder confidence.

4. Who can conduct an audit in Dubai?

A statutory audit should be conducted by an appropriately licensed auditor or audit firm. Where applicable, the relevant Free Zone or regulatory authority may also require the auditor to be separately approved by that authority. The auditor must follow the professional auditing standards adopted in the UAE.
