Common questions, answered.
Is a financial audit required for my company in the UAE? +
Yes. Under Article 27 of UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2015, every joint stock company and limited liability company must appoint an auditor to audit its books each year. Other company types may appoint one too.
Do I need to file audited financial statements with the regulators? +
Often, yes. Listed firms file audited accounts with the relevant exchange before 31 March; banks and financial institutions file with the Central Bank by 31 March; and branches of foreign companies submit yearly accounts when renewing their licence.
How long should a mainland UAE company keep its accounting records? +
At least five years after the end of the financial year, under Article 26 of UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2015. Electronic copies are acceptable.
Which financial year do you audit in the UAE? +
The UAE does not mandate a specific year. A financial year is 12 months (a newly formed company can run its first year up to 18 months). Most follow the calendar year, except subsidiaries aligned to a parent company abroad.
