When your bank asks for audited financial statements — for a loan, a credit facility or a facility renewal — they often require an auditor from their approved list. SKM International is a bank-approved audit firm, listed on the approved-auditor panels of major UAE banks. Our audit reports are accepted by leading banks and financial institutions across the UAE for lending and credit decisions. Chartered accountants, serving the UAE since 2006.
Need a statutory audit, a turnover certificate, or a free-zone audit instead?
When a business applies for a loan, an overdraft, a trade-finance line or a facility renewal, the bank wants independently audited financial statements — and often from an auditor on its own approved list. The wrong auditor can mean the file is sent back.
A bank-approved auditor is an audit firm that a bank recognises and lists as acceptable for auditing the financial statements it relies on to make lending decisions. SKM International is listed on the approved-auditor panels of major UAE banks — so the audit report we issue is one your bank will accept without friction.
Banks lend against numbers they trust. An audit by an independent, recognised firm gives them confidence that your financial statements are accurate, prepared to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and a true and fair view of the business. That confidence is what moves a credit application forward — and what an audit from an unrecognised firm can fail to provide.
We have audited UAE businesses since 2006, across mainland and free zones, for exactly these purposes: securing facilities, renewing them, satisfying lenders and reassuring suppliers and investors. Our partners bring Big Four-experienced expertise, and every report is issued under our Ministry of Economy audit licence.
The audit and assurance work that supports a credit application, a facility renewal, or a lender's ongoing requirements.
Tell us which facility you are applying for and we will get you an audited report your bank accepts — on the timeline you need it.

Banks lend against numbers they can trust. An independent audit confirms that your financial statements are accurate, prepared to IFRS, and a true and fair view of the business. This gives the bank confidence to assess your creditworthiness for a loan, overdraft, trade-finance line or facility renewal. Without audited statements from a recognised firm, an application can be delayed or declined.

In practice the terms are used interchangeably. A bank-listed or bank-approved auditor is one a bank includes on its recommended or accepted panel. It is not an exclusive arrangement with a single bank — being on these panels signals a track record of accurate, dependable audits that lenders are willing to rely on. The practical point for you is simple: the audit report we issue is one your bank will accept.
It depends on the size of the business and the state of your records. Where books are well maintained, an audit can move quickly; where records need work, it takes longer. If your bank has given you a deadline, tell us — we plan the work around it. The fastest path is to engage us early and have your accounting records, bank statements and invoices ready.
No. We audit both mainland and free-zone companies across the UAE. We are also approved auditors for major free zones including DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA, DSO, SAIF Zone, DIFC, RAKEZ and Dubai CommerCity — so whether your audit is for a bank, a free-zone authority, corporate tax or your shareholders, the same team can handle it.
