Auditing Compliance

Enhance Your Governance Criteria Through Strategic Audit Assistance

As the UAE evolves into a globally integrated economy with corporate taxation, transfer pricing, and international reporting duties, auditing has transitioned from an optional requirement to a fundamental aspect of compliance. An increasing number of Free Zones and licensing entities now require audited financial statements. Banks, investors, and regulators expect transparency, documentation of internal controls, and proactive management of risks.

At Finjuris Global, we don't just get your business ready for the audit—we elevate it to become governance-ready, aligned with regulations, and attractive for investments. Regardless of whether your audit is initiated by legal requirements, tax examinations, renewal of licenses, or funding obligations, we ensure that your accounts, procedures, and documentation are completely coordinated and strategically organized.

Why does it matter?

Auditing compliance isn’t just a regulatory formality; it is an operational imperative in the UAE’s evolving tax and financial governance environment. With corporate tax, transfer pricing, and ESR mandates now in effect, businesses are required to maintain audit-ready records, even if audits are not mandated every year. An audit not only validates your financial integrity to authorities like the FTA or free zone regulators but also boosts investor confidence, enables smooth license renewals, and lays the groundwork for scalable operations, mergers, or public listings.

Audits serve as a strategic checkpoint rather than a retrospective formality. A well-executed audit enhances operational credibility, ensures transparency across departments, and uncovers inefficiencies or control gaps that may pose future risks. For businesses targeting investor funding, government tenders, or cross-border partnerships, audited financials offer a competitive edge by demonstrating maturity and accountability. With increasing alignment to global reporting standards like IFRS and OECD frameworks, maintaining audit-aligned practices helps future-proof your business against evolving regulatory demands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Which companies in the UAE are obligated to have an audit performed?

Companies in the DIFC, ADGM, and most key Free Zones, including DMCC, JAFZA, and DSOA, are subject to mandatory audit requirements. Additionally, regulated sectors (such as fintech, insurance, and legal services) and taxable entities must keep their financial records in a form that can be audited.

2. Am I allowed to select any auditing firm?

No, you cannot. The audit must be performed by an auditor approved by the FTA and authorized by the respective zone. We collaborate with a network of pre-qualified partners across different jurisdictions.

3. What is the timeframe for completing an audit?

In an ideal scenario, audits should commence within 2 to 4 months following the end of the financial year. The entire audit process—from collecting data to obtaining certification—can range from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on how prepared your financial records are.e go beyond just preparing you for an audit—we create systems that are audit-proof, building regulatory trust and improving operational transparency.

4. Can I get an audit even if it's not legally required?

Yes. Many companies voluntarily undergo audits to build investor trust, prepare for future funding, or support tax filings. Voluntary audits also help in identifying internal control weaknesses.

5. How much time does Finjuris need to prepare me for an audit?

We recommend at least 2–4 weeks of preparation time before audit initiation. For year-end audits, starting early helps in finalizing reconciliations and avoiding last-minute rushes or auditor red flags.

6. Does the audit include tax or VAT checks?

An audit primarily covers financial accuracy, but overlaps with tax/VAT reporting are common. Finjuris ensures that your accounting complies with corporate tax and VAT rules, offering full audit-trail support.

7. Will Finjuris help address auditor queries directly?

Absolutely. We act as your single point of contact, responding to auditor questions, supplying required documents, and helping interpret any compliance gaps or recommendations post-audit.

8. What are the consequences of not submitting audited financials when required?

Failure to submit audited financial statements when mandated can result in fines, non-renewal of trade licenses, loss of Free Zone incentives, and increased scrutiny from regulators like the FTA. It may also damage credibility with banks and investors.

9. What should be included in an audit file?

An audit file should include a general ledger, trial balance, supporting documents (invoices, contracts, bank statements), fixed asset registers, VAT filings, board resolutions, and any intercompany agreements. Finjuris compiles this in a fully indexed, audit-ready format.

10. Can Finjuris help implement internal controls to prevent audit issues in the future?

Yes. We evaluate existing workflows and recommend internal control procedures covering procurement, inventory, invoicing, and approvals. This not only reduces audit risks but also improves operational governance and fraud detection.
