External Audit Support
Audits go smoothly when the file is ready before the auditors arrive. We prepare the schedules, answer the queries and keep your audit on time and on fee.
Overview
We act as your team during the external audit: preparing the audit file — lead schedules, reconciliations, confirmations, IFRS position papers — and managing auditor queries so your staff aren't derailed for weeks.
For businesses appointing an auditor for the first time (a corporate tax and free zone reality for many), we run the selection, scope the engagement and get the books audit-ready first.
Why it matters
Every ledger maintained to international standards — ready for VAT, corporate tax and audit. Engagements are scoped by a senior adviser, priced as a fixed fee before work begins, and delivered by the same team that answers when you call.

Common Questions
Do UAE companies need audited financials?
Increasingly yes — free zone licence renewals, corporate tax compliance for larger businesses, bank facilities and shareholder requirements all drive audit obligations.
Can you be our auditor?
No — and that independence is the point. We sit on your side of the table, preparing and defending the numbers the auditor examines.
How are your fees structured for external audit support?
Every engagement is a fixed fee agreed in writing before work begins — scoped by a senior adviser after a short, free review of your situation. No hourly billing, no surprises, and the quote itself is free.
Which accounting software do you work with?
Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally and most major ERPs. We work inside your existing system where possible — and recommend a migration only when the business case is clear.
Will our books be IFRS-compliant and audit-ready?
Yes. Books are maintained to IFRS standards with monthly reconciliations, so an external audit, a bank request or an FTA query never turns into a clean-up project.
Can you fix a backlog before taking over the monthly work?
Yes — backlog reconstruction is a common first phase. We rebuild the ledgers from bank statements and source documents, reconcile everything, then move you onto a clean monthly rhythm.
