Abu Dhabi is home to large, established companies — government and energy-linked contractors, their supply chains, and substantial private trading and services businesses. An annual audit is part of keeping any of them compliant. Here is what an Abu Dhabi mainland company needs to know, at a glance:
Audit and assurance for Abu Dhabi mainland companies — independent, IFRS-compliant, and accepted by banks, tenders and the Federal Tax Authority.
Audit fees depend on your turnover and transaction volume — so we quote a fair fixed fee upfront, with no surprises. Send your trade licence and last year's accounts and we'll come back with a clear price and timeline, usually the same business day. No obligation.
Having these ready before fieldwork begins is the single biggest factor in a fast, query-free audit. We'll send a tailored checklist when you engage us.
What separates SKM from a generic Dubai audit firm — the registration, the credentials, and the team behind every engagement.
Four phases, mapped to your filing cycle. Clear deliverables at each step.
If you are winding up rather than continuing, a licensed liquidator is needed for an orderly mainland closure. As licensed liquidators, we handle company liquidation end to end.
Our UAE Ministry of Economy licence is valid across all emirates, so we audit companies in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates too — handled efficiently online, wherever you are based.
The questions Abu Dhabi companies ask most before appointing an auditor. Need something specific? Speak to our team.
For most companies, yes. Abu Dhabi mainland companies licensed by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) generally keep audited financial statements under the UAE Commercial Companies Law, and audited accounts also support Corporate Tax filing, tenders and bank facilities. Send us your trade licence and we will confirm in writing what your company needs.
Yes. Our licence from the UAE Ministry of Economy is valid across all emirates, so we are fully able to audit Abu Dhabi mainland companies. The audit runs efficiently online — secure document exchange and review — with site visits arranged where needed, so being based in Dubai is never an issue.
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 Abu Dhabi authorities, banks, tender bodies and the Federal Tax Authority.
Yes. Abu Dhabi has many substantial, established companies, and we are well suited to them — handling consolidated and group accounts, intercompany balances, branches and complex revenue. Our Big Four-experienced partners deliver this work to the same standard, at an optimum, transparent cost.
Usually not. Most of the audit is carried out remotely through secure online document exchange and review, which keeps it efficient and convenient for you. Where a site visit genuinely adds value — for example to observe a stock count — we arrange one. Either way, your audit is handled smoothly from start to finish.
In many cases, yes — audited financial statements can be required for every financial year, even where turnover is low or nil, and may also be needed for Corporate Tax. The exact position depends on your licence and activity. Send us your trade licence and we will confirm in writing what your company needs to do.
Government and large corporate tenders in Abu Dhabi routinely ask bidders for audited financial statements as proof of financial standing, and banks request them for facilities and renewals. An IFRS audit signed by a UAE-licensed firm meets these requirements — we prepare yours in good time for the deadline.
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.
