Does my company need an audit?
Many free zones and licensing authorities ask for audited financial statements, and banks, shareholders, and investors often require them. The team confirms what applies to your licence and your company at the scoping stage.
Which standards do you audit under?
International Standards on Auditing, on financial statements prepared under IFRS. Limited reviews follow ISRE 2410 and assurance engagements follow ISAE 3000.
Is ECPA licensed to sign audit reports in the UAE?
Yes. Reports are signed by a UAE-licensed auditor, licence no. 5700. Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2023 requires the licence number to appear on every audit report.
What is the difference between an audit and a limited review?
An audit gives an opinion on the annual financial statements. A limited review covers periodic statements, such as quarterly or half-year figures, with a narrower scope and a conclusion rather than an opinion.
Do you audit free zone companies?
Yes. ECPA audits companies on the mainland and in UAE free zones, including companies in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. Each free zone sets its own submission requirements, which the team confirms at the scoping stage.
What does an audit cost?
Each engagement is quoted on request in AED, based on the company, its transactions, and the scope. The team calls you first, then sends the proposal.
