Audit Requirements: Companies, especially those with high revenue and those in free zones, may need to undergo annual audits to confirm their financial statements and support their corporate tax filings.

Accurate Reporting: A thorough financial statement audit helps identify and correct errors in financial reporting in Abu Dhabi, which is essential for calculating the correct amount of corporate tax.
Preparing for Corporate Tax: Having audited financial statements from the previous year can facilitate a smooth transition into the new corporate tax system, ensuring all financial information is accurate.
Keep Records: Companies must retain all documents and audit records for at least seven years, emphasizing the importance of effective financial management.
Spot Financial Risks: Regular audits can help identify potential risks or weaknesses in your financial processes, allowing for timely fixes that could lower tax liabilities.
Build Trust: An annual financial statement audit not only fulfills regulatory requirements but also enhances your reputation with stakeholders, investors, and regulators regarding the company’s financial health.

How to Get an Audited Financial Statement in the UAE?
Getting an audited financial statement is vital to meet UAE regulations, especially if your business is subject to corporate tax. Here’s a simple guide to help you through the process:
01
Find a Licensed Auditor
Start by selecting a licensed auditor who is registered with the Ministry of Economy or local authorities in your emirate. Look for someone with a solid reputation and experience in your industry.
02
Prepare Your Financial Statements
Before the audit, ensure your financial statements are ready. You will typically need:
- Balance Sheet
- Income Statement
- Statement of Cash Flows
- Statement of Shareholder Equity
Having these documents organized will facilitate a smooth audit process.
03
Conduct the Audit
Your chosen auditor will review your financial records and statements to confirm they accurately reflect your business’s financial health. This step ensures that everything adheres to accounting standards.
04
Receive the Audit Report
Once the audit is complete, you will receive an audit report detailing the auditor’s findings. This report will confirm whether your financial statements are accurate and compliant with regulations.
05
Submit Your Audited Financial Statements
If your revenue exceeds AED 50 million, be sure to submit your audited financial statements to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Meeting deadlines is crucial to avoid any penalties.
