What are auditing & assurance services?

Auditing and assurance services provide independent, objective evaluations of a company’s financial statements, internal controls, and risk management framework. The purpose is to give stakeholders — shareholders, banks, investors, regulators, and management — confidence that financial information is accurate, reliable, and compliant with applicable standards and laws.

Our auditing and assurance engagements are conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), and our financial reporting is aligned with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For internal audit engagements, we follow the International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF) issued by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA).

Our auditing & assurance services

We offer a comprehensive suite of auditing and assurance services covering every stage of your compliance and governance needs:

• External Audit Service — independent examination of your financial statements under ISA and IFRS, required for most UAE companies under Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 and Free Zone regulations.
• Internal Audit Services — risk-based, IPPF-aligned assessment of your internal controls, risk management framework, and operational efficiency. Fully outsourced internal audit for UAE SMEs.
• Forensic & Legal Auditing — fraud investigations, asset tracing, litigation support, and forensic reports prepared to meet the evidentiary standards of UAE courts, police, and the FTA.
• Company Liquidation Service — licensed liquidation audit reports and full process support required by the UAE Ministry of Economy, Free Zone authorities, and courts. Includes VAT & corporate tax de-registration.

Our audit approach

We adopt a risk-based audit methodology across all our auditing and assurance engagements, aligned with ISA and IPPF. Our process ensures thorough coverage while focusing resources on areas of highest risk:

• Step 1 — Business understanding and environment assessment: We analyse your business model, industry, and the regulatory environment to identify areas of inherent risk and set the strategic direction for the engagement.
• Step 2 — Risk assessment and audit planning: We assess the risks of material misstatement at both the financial statement and assertion levels, then design tailored audit procedures that respond directly to the identified risks.
• Step 3 — Evaluation of internal controls: We test the design and operating effectiveness of your internal controls over financial reporting, identifying control weaknesses and recommending improvements.
• Step 4 — Substantive testing of balances and transactions: We perform detailed testing of account balances, transaction classes, and disclosures using both analytical procedures and tests of detail to gather sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
• Step 5 — Communication and reporting: We communicate findings to management and those charged with governance, issue the audit report in Arabic and/or English, and provide a management letter with recommendations for improvement.

Our team works closely with clients throughout the engagement to ensure minimal disruption and maximum value. Our auditing engagements complement our corporate tax compliance review, corporate tax services, and CAATs data analytics.
