Statutory audit, QFZP audit and special-purpose assurance — signed by Avyanco Auditing, a UAE Ministry of Economy-registered audit firm on the DIFC, ADGM, DMCC, JAFZA and other major free zone panels.
UAE audit and assurance covers statutory audit, QFZP audit and special-purpose assurance. Avyanco Auditing is registered with the Ministry of Economy and on free zone panels including DIFC, ADGM, DMCC and JAFZA, so the same team prepares the workpapers and signs the audit opinion. Mainland LLCs, free zone entities and entities seeking Qualifying Free Zone Person status face an annual audit obligation.
Statutory audit is now broad-based in the UAE. Mainland LLCs under the Commercial Companies Law, free zone entities under most free zone regulators (DMCC, JAFZA, DIFC, ADGM, DAFZA, RAKEZ and others), entities seeking Qualifying Free Zone Person status under Corporate Tax, and any entity required to file audited financials with the Federal Tax Authority — all face an annual audit obligation. Audit must be delivered by a firm registered with the UAE Ministry of Economy, and by a firm on the relevant free zone regulator's approved panel.
Avyanco Auditing is registered with the Ministry of Economy and sits on the major free zone panels — DIFC, ADGM, DMCC, JAFZA and others. Clients get a single engagement under one roof: Avyanco's audit team prepares the workpapers, ties out balances, drafts the IFRS financial statements and signs the audit opinion in its own name. The audit ties into the Corporate Tax computation and the wider compliance position.
Three primary engagement types.
Annual audit of IFRS / IFRS-for-SMEs financial statements for mainland LLCs and free zone entities under the relevant regulator's requirements. Required for most UAE entities.
Audit required to support Qualifying Free Zone Person status under UAE Corporate Tax Cabinet Decision No. 100 of 2023. Annual requirement for entities claiming the 0% rate on Qualifying Income.
Bank-required AUP, regulator-mandated special audits, due-diligence reviews, royalty audits and other non-statutory assurance engagements.
Five steps from planning to opinion.
Confirm the audit scope, regulator panel and timetable. Identify high-risk balances, related-party flows and significant accounting estimates.
Audit risk assessment, materiality determination and workpaper setup against the audit standards.
Substantive testing, controls testing and analytical procedures across the balance sheet and income statement. Tie-out to underlying accounting records.
IFRS / IFRS-for-SMEs financial statements drafted, partner-level review completed, management representation letter signed.
