Free zone audit and compliance
Most free zones ask for audited financial statements at renewal. We prepare the accounts, carry out the audit and coordinate the submission.
What we cover
- Audited financial statements for licence renewal
- Free zone authority portal submissions
- Corporate tax and qualifying free zone person review
- Help changing to a new auditor
- Support for newly licensed and dormant companies
Free zones we cover: Ajman Free Zone, DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA, RAKEZ, Meydan, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Development Authority zones, SHAMS and IFZA. Some authorities only accept auditors from their own approved list. Ask us before you engage and we will tell you plainly whether we can sign your report.
Who needs this
Free zone companies approaching licence renewal, companies whose authority rejected a previous report, and owners changing auditor.

Questions
Can you audit a company in any free zone?
Requirements differ by authority. We confirm yours at the start so you do not pay for a report that will be rejected.
What if my deadline is close?
Contact us as early as you can. We will tell you what is realistic and what the authority allows.
