EXTERNAL AUDIT SERVICES DUBAI UAE

End-to-End Objective Systematic Unbiased External Audit Services Dubai UAE

Regular auditing and proper maintenance of accounts have a significant impact on the success of a business, and it is a misconception that auditing is only required by law. Business owners who do not maintain proper books of accounts and have regular audits often continue running their ventures, assuming they are profitable when they are actually running at a loss.

Unfortunately, this realization often comes too late, resulting in irreparable damage. This is where the pragmatic approach of external auditing services in Dubai becomes crucial. To look into their accounting issues, every business needs the services of professionally qualified and experienced external auditors in Dubai.

Which Companies Need External Audit Services in UAE?

External Audits increase the credibility of a company through independent unbiased audit of financial statements, records and business processes. Not only do they increase the credibility but ensure stakeholders and investors that the company is financially healthy and compliant. In addition, external audits serve as a great way to explore discrepancies in processes and correct them on time whether it is about implementing governance controls or becoming compliant. Additionally, companies seeking external funding or investment may also require audited financial statements as part of due diligence by potential investors or lenders.

External Audit Requirements of Banks and Financial Institutions

External audit services are crucial for companies seeking credit approval from banks and financial institutions in the UAE. Most banks require audited financial statements to assess the credit-worthiness of a company. Similarly, the same requirement must be met for most other bank facilities approvals. It is essential for businesses to have their financial statements audited by qualified auditors to increase their chances of securing credit from banks and other financial institutions.
