UAE External Audit for Pakistani Companies

What is an External Audit?

For Pakistani businesses in the UAE, an external audit is a process to check that your company's financial records are accurate. This is done by hiring an independent auditor from a professional audit firm in the UAE. These auditors are not part of your company, which is a key rule for all businesses to stay compliant with the UAE government. The audit helps find any current or future issues and officially confirms that your company's financial claims are true.

External auditors are responsible for:

Meeting with your company's staff to gather information
Creating an audit plan that fits your business needs
Setting up the right audit steps and procedures
Finding and checking all the financial risks your company faces
Carefully reviewing your company's financial reports
Preparing the final, complete audit report for your teams in the UAE and Pakistan
Meeting with you to discuss the results of the audit report

For Pakistani businesses, it's important to know that the UAE's Commercial Companies Law requires all mainland companies to have an annual external audit. Also, many free zone authorities require their companies to prepare and submit audited financial statements, so you should check the rules of your specific free zone.

The time it takes to finish an external audit in the UAE can change depending on the type of audit. The whole process can take a few weeks or a few months, but the main audit work is usually done in about 30 working days.

An audit report in the UAE can be prepared for a financial period as short as 6 months or as long as 18 months.

An audit report is not always needed for license renewal in the UAE. It depends on your type of license and the rules of the government agency that issued it. We suggest that Pakistani business owners check directly with their licensing agency to know the exact requirements.

Audits must be done by independent external auditors who are licensed and registered with the right government bodies in the UAE. They are responsible for giving a fair and objective review of a company's financial statements.
