The Auditing Requirement in the UAE
-
Free Zone Entities: Most Free Zone authorities, including DMCC, RAKEZ, IFZA, SHAMS, and others, mandate annual audited financial statements as part of licence renewals.
-
Mainland Entities: Audited accounts are mandatory under the UAE Commercial Companies Law for all LLCs and joint-stock companies.
-
FTA / Corporate Tax: Audited financials are increasingly required to support corporate tax filings and FTA reviews.
Sterlinx audits ensure full adherence to these requirements — helping your business remain in good standing with all licensing and tax authorities.
The Sign-Up Fee — Preparing for Audit
Each engagement includes a one-time Audit Preparation Fee to review your ledgers and recent accounting periods before final audit certification.
Depending on your company’s stage:
-
Existing Entities → Audit and reconciliation of financial statements up to the most recent closed fiscal year, ensuring readiness for statutory submission.
-
New Entities → Review and setup of accounting records to prepare for your first audit cycle.
-
Migrations → Transition from another auditor or firm, verifying balances and reports for continuity.
How Pricing Works
Audit fees are based on your annual company revenue and the complexity of your structure (Free Zone, Mainland, or Group).
