Auditing & Bookkeeping
Transparent Financials. Regulatory Confidence. — Auditing & Bookkeeping Services in UAE — Al Sawaf Auditing
Al Sawaf delivers rigorous auditing and meticulous bookkeeping services that give UAE businesses the financial clarity they need to grow. The scope and specific requirements of each engagement depend on the entity's jurisdiction, structure, and applicable regulations.
Overview
What We Offer
In the UAE's evolving regulatory landscape, accurate financial records and independent audits are essential for compliance and credibility. Al Sawaf's certified auditors and bookkeeping specialists work across all business structures — mainland LLCs, free zone entities, and offshore companies.
For audit engagements, typical documentation required includes financial records, bank statements, prior-year financial statements, and corporate documents such as trade licences and memoranda of association. The precise scope — whether statutory, internal, or special-purpose — is agreed at the outset of each engagement in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and applicable UAE requirements.
For bookkeeping engagements, we maintain your accounts accurately on an ongoing basis, prepare VAT returns for FTA filing, and produce management accounts that give you a real-time view of business performance. Bookkeeping deliverables are distinct from audit deliverables: bookkeeping produces maintained records and management reports, while an audit produces an independent opinion on financial statements.
Statutory Audit
Mandatory annual audits for UAE mainland and free zone companies, conducted by registered auditors and submitted to the relevant authorities. Applicability and scope depend on jurisdiction and entity type.
Internal Audit
Independent assessment of your internal controls, risk management processes, and governance frameworks to identify weaknesses before they become problems.
VAT Compliance & Filing
End-to-end VAT registration, return preparation, and filing with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to keep your business compliant with UAE VAT regulations.
Bookkeeping & Accounting
Monthly and quarterly bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, payroll accounting, and management accounts prepared to IFRS standards. Produces maintained records and management reports — distinct from an audit opinion.
Financial Statement Preparation
Preparation of audited and unaudited financial statements for banks, investors, visa applications, and regulatory submissions.
Special Purpose Audits
Agreed-upon procedures, due diligence audits, and forensic accounting engagements tailored to your specific requirements.
