Many UAE companies need an annual audit, either for their free zone licence renewal or for corporate tax.
When an audit is required

- Mainland LLCs are required by company law to appoint auditors
- Qualifying free zone persons need audited statements for the 0% regime
- Companies with revenue above AED 50 million need audited statements for corporate tax

Choosing an auditor
Auditors must be approved by the relevant authority, and some free zones keep their own approved lists.
