Audit Support for businesses in KSA and the UAE
An audit doesn't have to be stressful — but poor preparation makes it feel that way. In Saudi Arabia, statutory audits are required for joint stock companies, foreign-owned entities, and businesses above certain revenue thresholds. In the UAE, free zone companies must submit annual audited financial statements to their licensing authority, and the 9% corporate tax regime has increased scrutiny across all larger businesses.
Frequently asked questions
Who needs a statutory audit in Saudi Arabia?
Joint stock companies, foreign-owned entities with foreign shareholders, and businesses above specific revenue thresholds require statutory audits in Saudi Arabia. SOCPA-certified auditors must conduct these. Even businesses not legally required to audit often do so for banking, investor, or licensing purposes.
Why do UAE free zone companies need annual audits?
Most free zones require annual audited financial statements as a condition of licence renewal. The auditor must be UAE-registered. Missing the deadline risks licence suspension. Accounting firms in this directory handle this as a standard annual engagement — not an emergency each year.
What does good audit preparation look like?
Reconciling all balance sheet accounts, ensuring fixed assets are properly depreciated, confirming payroll records match expense accounts, verifying VAT ledgers align with filed returns, and preparing IFRS-compliant financial statements. Firms here manage the preparation process, not just the audit handover.
How does Wafeq help with audit readiness?
