Frequently Asked Questions
For Indian businesses, it's crucial to know that the UAE's Commercial Companies Law makes an annual external audit mandatory for all mainland companies. Furthermore, many free zone authorities also require their licensed entities to prepare and submit audited financial statements, so it is essential to check the specific regulations of your free zone.
The time required to complete an external audit in the UAE can vary significantly based on the type and purpose of the engagement. While the entire process can range from weeks to months, the active audit fieldwork is typically completed within approximately 30 working days.
An audit report in the UAE can be prepared for a financial period of no less than 6 months and no more than 18 months.
Submitting an audit report is not a universal requirement for every license renewal in the UAE. This obligation depends on your specific license type and the rules of the governing authority that issued it. We advise Indian business owners to confirm the exact renewal requirements directly with their licensing agency.
Audits must be performed by independent external auditors who are officially licensed and registered with the appropriate regulatory bodies in the UAE. Their legal responsibility is to provide an impartial and objective evaluation of a company’s financial statements.
