Frequently Asked Questions on Auditing in UAE

Is a statutory audit required in the UAE?

A Chartered Accountant performs a statutory audit as required by the laws of the respective nation to guarantee that the statements supplied to the public are free of substantial misstatements and are truthful and fair. The audited statements offer only reasonable certainty. Certain entities in free zones must have their finances audited in the UAE.

How do internal audits vary from external audits?

Internal audits are performed whole year to identify a company's internal controls and accounting systems. They recommend and help the company's personnel. Internal auditors create reports only for management objectives. An external audit is conducted by an neutral expert who is not an employee of the organization. External auditors provide comments on whether financial statements are 'true and fair'. Unlike internal auditors, they test the company's transactions on a sample basis. As a result, external audits provide only reasonable certainty on financial accounts.

How long does a typical audit take?

An audit should ideally last 2 to 4 weeks. However, the time of an audit is determined by its scope, access to documents, and management answers.

How secret will the information I provide you and my audit report be?

Maintaining secrecy is one of an auditor's Code of Ethics obligations. This would be included in our contract with the corresponding client. However, if the law compels auditors to divulge information about the client due to suspicion, this will not be deemed a violation of confidentiality.
