DIFC Approved Auditors in Dubai

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) requires companies operating within its jurisdiction to undergo audits by DIFC-approved auditors. Audit reports must be submitted to the DIFC Authority within four months of the fiscal year-end to renew trade licenses. Only DIFC-registered auditing firms are eligible to conduct these audits, ensuring companies maintain accurate financial records and comply with regulations. The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) oversees financial sectors, while non-regulated companies fall under the DIFC Authority’s jurisdiction, promoting transparency and financial integrity.

Understanding DIFC: Dubai's Financial Free Zone

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) was established in 2004 as a global financial hub, connecting businesses to emerging markets. It operates independently within the UAE with its own legal and regulatory framework, hosting banks, professional services, global corporations, insurance companies, wealth management firms, and capital markets. The DIFC stands out with its unique legal framework aligned with international standards and an independent judicial system based on English Common law, with the DIFC Courts handling civil and commercial disputes.

Regulatory authorities in DIFC

DIFCA acts as a supervisory authority responsible for overseeing the development of various companies within the DIFC. It was established under Dubai Law No. 9 of 2004 and plays a pivotal role in shaping and implementing laws pertaining to financial service firms operating within the DIFC.
DFSA operates as an independent regulatory authority tasked with regulating financial services both within and outside the DIFC free zone. It ensures that companies adhere to the rules and regulations of the free zone. DFSA’s authority is derived from Dubai Law No. 1 of 2004, granting it the power to make decisions impacting the financial market and cater to the needs of companies.
DIFC Courts are established by Dubai Law No. 9 of 2004, which allows for a self-governing administration within the free zone. These courts have the authority to address various commercial and civil disputes that may arise within the free zone. They uphold the highest standards in legal proceedings and dispute resolution, ensuring a fair and just resolution process.

Why Auditing is Required from DIFC-Approved Auditors

DIFC companies must submit audit reports to the DIFC Authority within four months of their fiscal year-end. Failure to comply may result in non-renewal of trade licenses. To ensure compliance, companies must engage DIFC-registered auditors, adhering to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and DIFC regulations. The auditor’s report verifies the accuracy and fairness of financial statements, confirming they are free from material misstatements and align with the company’s trade license and DIFC regulations.

Documents Needed for DIFC Auditing

To efficiently conduct an audit, the following documents are typically required:

– Memorandum of Association (MoA)
– Articles of Association (AOA)
– Latest Trade License

– Trial Balance
– Balance Sheet
– Profit & Loss Statement

-VAT Registration Details
– Excise Tax Registration Details

– Books of Accounts
– Audit schedules (e.g., Fixed Assets Register, Accounts Receivable/Payable Aging)

– Closing stock and work-in-progress at year-end
– Fixed asset additions/disposals with supporting documentation

– Copies of bills and invoices
