An annual obligation.
A considered approach.
An annual audit requirement should start with the company, its legal form and its licensing jurisdiction. A lender or shareholder may also request audited statements. We review the requirement before agreeing the appointment and reporting timetable.
This page focuses on annual statutory audit planning and readiness. The underlying examination may be the same independent financial-statement audit described on our External & Statutory Audit page; the distinction here is the annual obligation and completion process.
A clear scope.
Purpose behind every step.
Requirement review
Review the licence, company documents and reporting request to clarify the obligation and intended recipient.
Appointment & independence
Consider auditor eligibility, appointment formalities and independence before accepting the work.
Annual close readiness
Identify the statements, schedules and reconciliations needed for the reporting period.
Risk-based audit planning
Plan the financial-statement audit around the business and significant reporting risks.
Evidence & completion
Examine supporting evidence and discuss outstanding information and matters arising.
Annual reporting
Complete the appropriate audit report and agree delivery to the authorised recipients.
Useful findings.
Clear reporting.
A defined annual timetable
A planning route reflecting record readiness, reporting dates and the work agreed.
Independent financial reporting
An audit opinion based on the financial statements and evidence obtained.
A clearer completion file
Outstanding schedules, representations and final reporting matters brought into one process.
Requirements differ by entity and jurisdiction. An audit provides reasonable assurance; an unmodified opinion or completion date cannot be guaranteed before the records and engagement are assessed.
Bring the requirement.
We’ll map the records.
Trade licence, constitutional documents, reporting request, prior-year audited statements, trial balance, draft accounts, bank reconciliations and schedules supporting significant balances.
Before work begins
We clarify the reporting purpose, scope and intended users.
Fees and timing depend on complexity, record readiness, access and the work agreed.
Any independence, eligibility or appointment requirements are considered before acceptance.

Founder & CEO · Capital Plus Auditing of Accounts
A Dubai-based firm.
A personal approach.
Capital Plus Auditing of Accounts supports mainland, free-zone and offshore businesses from Business Bay, Dubai. For your audit, that means a conversation about your reporting requirements, a defined engagement and a team you can speak to throughout the work.
01 / A defined audit scope
Know the reporting purpose, period and deliverables before the engagement starts.
02 / The detail explained
Discuss outstanding evidence and relevant findings in practical terms.
03 / Local jurisdiction context
Assess the reporting request and auditor eligibility for your company.
Specific questions.
Straightforward answers.
Does every UAE company need the same annual audit?
No. The applicable requirements depend on the entity and its jurisdiction, alongside any contractual reporting obligations. Share the licence and relevant request for an entity-specific discussion.
When should we start preparing?
Start before the required reporting date, allowing time for the financial close, supporting schedules and audit queries. We discuss a practical timetable after reviewing readiness.
How does this relate to your external audit service?
Statutory describes why an audit is required; external describes its independent nature. The same engagement can be both. This page focuses on the annual obligation and preparation.
How do we get started?
