What is a Statutory Audit?

  • A statutory audit is an independent examination of an organization's financial statements conducted in accordance with applicable accounting standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Audited financial statements are often required by Free Zone Authorities, banks, investors, shareholders, and other stakeholders for compliance, financing, and decision-making purposes.

  • Risk-based audit planning and execution

  • Even where an audit is not mandatory, many businesses voluntarily obtain audited financial statements to strengthen credibility and support future growth.

Statutory Audit and Corporate Tax Compliance

  • In the UAE, the introduction of Corporate Tax has reinforced the importance of statutory audits. Companies must maintain accurate, audited financial statements to verify taxable income and justify tax positions. Our statutory audits provide the necessary independent assurance to ensure full compliance with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) guidelines.
  • Our audit services help businesses:
  • Improve the reliability of financial information used for tax reporting
  • Strengthen supporting documentation
  • Enhance financial governance and record-keeping practices
