About SKM in Sharjah

A Chartered Accountancy & Audit Firm in Sharjah

SKM International is a firm of chartered accountants and approved auditors, licensed by the UAE Ministry of Economy and approved for HFZA and SAIF Zone. We have an office in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah, and audit the emirate's free-zone, mainland and industrial companies to IFRS.

SKM International is an audit firm serving Sharjah, with an office in Hamriyah Free Zone (HFZA) and a particular focus on HFZA companies. We are licensed by the UAE Ministry of Economy and an approved auditor for HFZA and SAIF Zone, and we are a natural fit for established, higher-turnover businesses that want Big Four-quality audit work at an optimum, transparent cost. Led by Managing Partner CA Sushil Malhotra (FCA, CIA-USA, CISI-UK), with Big Four experience at KPMG and Deloitte Dubai and EY Saudi Arabia.

Sharjah's economy is built on industry, manufacturing, trading and SMEs — and an annual audit is part of keeping any of these companies compliant. Among the audit firms in Sharjah, SKM offers Big Four-experienced partners with an office in the emirate. Here is what a Sharjah company needs to know, at a glance:

  • Free-zone companies: HFZA and SAIF Zone companies require an annual audit by an approved auditor for trade-licence renewal — we are approved for both.
  • Mainland companies: Sharjah mainland companies licensed by the Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) generally keep audited accounts under the UAE Commercial Companies Law.
  • Industrial & manufacturing: stock, work-in-progress and cost accounting matter in Sharjah's industrial base — areas we audit routinely.
  • Corporate Tax: audited accounts support Corporate Tax filing and Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status, where applicable.
  • Standard: financial statements prepared to IFRS, audited to International Standards on Auditing (ISA).
  • Sharjah office: we have an office in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah — and most of the audit also runs efficiently online.

2
Records & Planning
We request your trade licence, ledgers, bank statements and supporting documents, then plan the audit around your business's specific risk areas.

Substantive testing and review to ISA standards. We prepare your IFRS-compliant financial statements ready for approval and the auditor's opinion.
4
Sign-Off & Submission

Sharjah Free Zones We Cover

Approved auditors for Sharjah's main free zones, with an office in Hamriyah Free Zone. One firm for all your audit filings.

Closing a Sharjah Company?

If you are winding up rather than renewing, a licensed liquidator is needed for HFZA, SAIF Zone and mainland closures. As licensed liquidators, we handle company liquidation end to end.

Operating Beyond Sharjah?

Our UAE Ministry of Economy registration is valid across all emirates, so we audit companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates too — handled efficiently online, wherever you are based.

FAQs

Audit Firm in Sharjah — Common Questions

The questions Sharjah companies ask most before appointing an auditor. Need something specific? Speak to our team.

Is an audit mandatory for companies in Sharjah?

For most companies, yes. HFZA and SAIF Zone companies require an annual audit by an approved auditor for trade-licence renewal, and Sharjah mainland companies licensed by SEDD generally keep audited financial statements under the UAE Commercial Companies Law. Audited accounts also support Corporate Tax filing. Send us your trade licence and we will confirm in writing what your company needs.

Does SKM International have a presence in Sharjah?

Yes. SKM International has an office in Hamriyah Free Zone (HFZA), Sharjah, alongside our Dubai head office. We are licensed by the UAE Ministry of Economy and an approved auditor for HFZA and SAIF Zone, and have served the UAE since 2006.

Which Sharjah free zones can SKM audit?

SKM International is an approved auditor for Hamriyah Free Zone (HFZA) and Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone). We also audit Sharjah mainland companies licensed by SEDD. Because one firm can cover both free zones and the mainland, a multi-entity group can deal with a single team for every filing.

What standards do you audit to?

We prepare financial statements to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and audit them to International Standards on Auditing (ISA). These are the standards accepted by Sharjah's free-zone authorities, the mainland regulator, banks and the Federal Tax Authority.

Do you only audit Hamriyah Free Zone companies?

No. We have an office in Hamriyah Free Zone, and we audit companies across Sharjah — HFZA, SAIF Zone and mainland businesses licensed by SEDD. Most of the audit runs efficiently online, so wherever your company is based in Sharjah, working with us is straightforward.

Does a new or zero-turnover Sharjah company still need an audit?

In most cases, yes. HFZA and SAIF Zone generally require audited financial statements for every financial year, even for a dormant or zero-turnover company. The exact requirement depends on your licence type and free zone. Send us your trade licence and we will confirm in writing what your company needs to do.

Can one firm handle my Sharjah free-zone and mainland companies?

Yes. SKM International audits Sharjah mainland companies under the Commercial Companies Law and free-zone companies in HFZA and SAIF Zone. A group with several entities can use one team for every audit, plus Corporate Tax and VAT, with all timelines coordinated together.

How much does an audit cost in Sharjah?

Audit fees depend on the size and complexity of your company's financials — turnover, number of transactions, group structure and the state of your records all matter. We provide a fair, transparent fixed-fee proposal up front, with no surprises. Send us your trade licence and last year's accounts for a quote.
