What is a Statutory Audit?
A statutory audit is a legally required review of a company’s financial records by an independent auditor to ensure compliance with UAE laws and IFRS standards. Governed by the UAE Commercial Companies Law (Federal Law No. 32 of 2021), it is essential for public companies, financial institutions, and free zone businesses. The audit process verifies financial statements, enhances transparency, detects fraud, and strengthens investor confidence, ensuring businesses meet regulatory requirements.
