A DIFC-approved auditor is an auditor or audit firm that satisfies the applicable DIFC approval and eligibility requirements for relevant audit engagements. ARCA Auditors is officially approved for DIFC audit engagements.
Audit obligations depend on the requirements applicable to the particular entity. Businesses should review the relevant DIFC rules, legal and regulatory status, and any applicable exemptions or additional requirements.
Businesses should not assume that a general UAE audit licence automatically satisfies every DIFC appointment requirement. Confirm the proposed auditor’s eligibility against the current requirements applicable to the entity and engagement.
Confirm the auditor’s relevant approval status and suitability for the engagement. Review the proposed scope, deliverables, fee structure, communication arrangements and anticipated timeline before proceeding.
Common documents include the trial balance, general ledger, draft financial statements, bank statements, reconciliations, invoices, payroll records, fixed asset schedules, contracts and relevant corporate records. The final list depends on the business and agreed audit scope.
Fees depend on business size, transaction volume, financial arrangements, accounting record quality, reporting requirements and the agreed scope. Contact ARCA Auditors for a proposal based on your circumstances.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the engagement, record readiness, supporting document availability and the time needed to resolve audit queries. Discuss the anticipated timetable when the scope is agreed.
An external financial statement audit involves an independent opinion on the financial statements. Internal audit generally evaluates selected business processes, risk management and internal controls against agreed objectives. They serve different purposes.
No. An audit does not, by itself, establish eligibility for the 0% Corporate Tax rate. QFZP treatment depends on the applicable legal conditions and other requirements relevant to the entity.
ARCA Auditors can discuss your audit requirements, the proposed engagement scope and the accounting records needed for the audit. Confirm any additional preparation assistance as part of the engagement proposal.
