Audit services

Six audits. One standard.

01

Statutory Audit

Full-scope IFRS audit for Mainland LLCs and Free Zone entities. Materiality-driven, risk-based, and closes before the renewal deadline.

02

Free Zone Renewal Audit

DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA, ADGM, DIFC and 40+ zones — audited to each authority’s specific template and format.

03

Agreed-Upon Procedures

Fact-finding engagements for banks, investors, regulators — precisely scoped, no scope creep.

04

Internal Audit

Risk-based internal audit function on retainer, or as one-time process reviews. Report-out to your board.

05

Due Diligence

Buy-side and sell-side financial due diligence for M&A, JV formation, and PE entry.

06

Forensic & Investigation

Fraud investigation, disputed accounts, expert-witness support in commercial disputes.

Our approach

Materiality first. Ticking last.

Risk-based scoping

We spend the first week understanding your business, not testing samples. The audit plan follows the risks — nothing else.

Continuous engagement

We don’t disappear between planning and year-end. Interim work happens quarterly so year-end doesn’t become a scramble.

Partner-signed reports

The partner who runs the audit signs the report. No offshore quality reviewer you’ve never met.

Findings that matter

Management letters that flag business issues, not just accounting nuance. You get insight, not just compliance.

Book a consultation

Talk to a partner. Not a chatbot.

Book a 30-minute consultation — no pitch, just a read of your situation. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so and point you to someone who is.
