External Audit

An external audit is an investigation and analysis of the financial position of a business conducted by an auditing firm that is not related to the business being audited. This process usually begins with analyzing a company's accounting records to determine the accuracy of the calculations and the recording process used. One of the purposes of this study is to verify that the accounting practices of a company are valid and comply with generally accepted accounting standards. The auditor's interpretation of the corporate account is compared to the financial statements to determine whether the corporate account accurately reflects the financial and overall financial health of the entity.
Reasons for an external audit: In many cases, external audits are required by business owners as a form of business management oversight. This is especially true in large enterprises where ownership and control are segregated. Owners/shareholders want to ensure that their management is competent and that their investments in their companies are safe. In other cases, external audits are required by governments or government agencies for businesses of a certain size or larger. The main purpose of government-required external audits is to identify business fraud. In Dubai and other Emirates in the UAE, companies must use an accounting firm approved by the authorities.
Audit Company Responsibilities: External audits may be performed by individual auditors, but audits are more often performed by auditing firms that specialize in external audits. For audits required by government law, the auditor's qualifications are usually specified in the bylaws. In the UAE, auditors from Dubai and other Emirates must be approved. External audits are often required by an organization's business plan or corporate charter. The auditor's qualifications are usually indicated when presenting the audit.

United Arab Emirates' External Audit

The United Arab Emirates has required audited financial statements since 1984, and Federal Law No. 8 has been passed for commercial enterprises. External audits conducted by Dubai and other UAE auditors meet this requirement and protect the company from imminent fines or other penalties. Penalties have been stipulated in a new federal law on commercial companies passed in 2013.
UAE External Audit Free Trade Area Requirements: United Arab Emirates authorities require audited financial statements as part of the license renewal process. Free Zone authorities always require an audited annual account for license renewals. Once your audit report is ready, renewing your license is quick and relatively easy.
Bank and financial institution requirements for external audits: When asked for credit approval, most UAE banks require audited financial statements to determine a company's creditworthiness. The same requirements must be met for the approval of most other banking facilities.
The main purpose of external audits in the United Arab Emirates or elsewhere is to rely on the company's financial reporting. This brings some important but intangible benefits to all business owners and top managers. In the United Arab Emirates, these intangible interests apply equally. One of these benefits is that audited financial statements can be important evidence in proceedings involving a company. Another benefit is that audits help stakeholders accept the credibility of a company's financial statements.

Reasons to trust the auditing company's operations:

Independent external auditors are legally required to be completely independent of the audited company. There are rules that prohibit examiners from being involved in the examination results. The auditor should not invest in the audited company. There are several national and international organizations that provide certification for auditors and accounting firms (the SEC, PCAOB, and AICPA, as in the United States, serve this purpose). These professional associations set out standards of auditor independence and provide training to auditors. There are several organizations that provide monitoring capabilities through the auditor. In order to maintain a license or accreditation as an auditor, individual auditors and auditing companies must maintain both the appearance and the facts of independence. Questions about the auditor's independence can be investigated and the license or authorization can be revoked. When a stakeholder reviews an auditor's certification in an audit, that stakeholder is encouraged to trust the auditor's work.

Why UAE Banks and Free Zones Require Audited Financial Statements:

UAE authorities require audited financial statements as part of the license renewal process. Free Zone authorities always require an audited annual account for license renewals. The audited annual financial statements indicate to the authorities that the company is performing the activities permitted by the business license and not performing the activities not permitted. Reliable audited financial statements help authorities find an illegal or inappropriate activity, and audits encourage companies to avoid illegal activity. Once your audit report is ready, renewing your license is quick and relatively easy.

Most UAE banks require audited financial statements to determine a company's creditworthiness when asked for credit approval. The same requirements must be met for the approval of most other banking facilities.
