Internal and external auditing, with a clear scope from the start.Understand your financial records, controls and reporting requirements.Work with a Dubai-based team to prepare, review and act on the findings.
Different audit objectives call for different engagements. We first establish who needs the report, what it should cover and the records available, then agree the appropriate work and responsibilities.
Look beyond the balances to understand how your business processes operate. Internal audit work can examine approval controls, purchasing, revenue handling, inventory and financial reporting procedures. We agree priority areas with management, assess supporting evidence and report practical findings so your team can assign actions and monitor improvements.
An external audit provides an independent examination of financial statements within the agreed reporting framework. We clarify the intended recipient and any relevant auditor eligibility requirements before the engagement. The work involves reviewing records, obtaining evidence and resolving questions with management; the audit opinion depends on the evidence and findings, not a promised result.
Prepare the information needed to keep an audit moving. We help identify missing reconciliations, incomplete schedules and unclear balances before fieldwork starts. Readiness assistance is distinct from the independent audit itself; responsibilities and independence requirements must be assessed before services are combined. A structured request list keeps your finance team focused on the outstanding items.
A management review, a lender's request and an authority's reporting requirement may call for different work. Tell us the intended use of the report, the legal entity, reporting period and submission requirements before we quote. We confirm the reporting scope and any applicable auditor registration or approval requirements for the recipient. Audit-readiness support does not replace an independent opinion, and an audit cannot guarantee that every error or instance of fraud will be detected. Material issues are discussed openly with management.
The programme reflects the engagement objective, reporting timetable and evidence available. We agree responsibilities before requesting detailed records.
We discuss the report's audience, your business operations and the relevant reporting period. For internal audits, we agree the processes and risks to examine; for external audits, we clarify the financial reporting and recipient requirements.
Your team receives a tailored request list covering the relevant accounts, reconciliations, agreements and process records. We track outstanding information and discuss gaps that could affect the timetable or the scope of the work.
The agreed audit procedures are performed and questions are raised with the responsible staff. Management has an opportunity to provide explanations and additional evidence. Findings are evaluated in the context of the engagement rather than presented as isolated observations.
We discuss the conclusions and deliverables with you. Internal audit recommendations can be assigned to action owners; external audit reporting follows the applicable framework. Any additional follow-up work is agreed separately so responsibilities remain clear.
Good preparation helps management, finance teams and report recipients work from a shared understanding of the engagement.
Get a clearer view of records and business processes as your company grows. We help distinguish a financial statement audit from an internal controls review so you can commission the work that addresses your actual question.
If a lender, shareholder or licensing body requests audited statements, share the requirement early. We establish the reporting period, intended recipient and eligibility conditions before confirming the engagement and document list.
An internal audit can focus attention on processes with recurring exceptions or unclear ownership. A defined scope and practical recommendations help your team prioritise improvements and establish a follow-up plan.
A structured approach to scope, evidence and communication with your team.
We clarify the purpose before recommending a service. Internal reviews, readiness assistance and independent external audits are explained as distinct engagements, with their responsibilities and limitations made clear.
A tailored request list and open-item tracking help finance teams coordinate responses. Missing information is identified early, and we explain when it affects the proposed reporting timetable.
We communicate observations with their supporting context and listen to management's explanations. Where recommendations form part of the scope, they focus on practical actions rather than a generic checklist.

Internal auditing examines agreed risks, processes and controls to support management oversight. External auditing independently examines financial statements under the relevant reporting framework. The objectives, procedures and reports differ, so we confirm which engagement you need first.
Do not assume that it will. The recipient may set specific requirements for the report or the auditor. Share the written request and entity details so the relevant eligibility and reporting conditions can be checked before you engage the work.
For a financial statement audit, initial records commonly include the trial balance, financial statements, reconciliations and supporting schedules. Internal audit requests depend on the processes under review. We provide a tailored list after agreeing the scope and reporting period.
No. An independent opinion must follow the audit evidence and findings. Readiness work can help organise records and resolve questions, but it cannot predetermine the conclusion. We explain material issues and any limitations identified during the engagement.
