Audit Firms in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi buyers read audits. An ADGM holding company on Al Maryah, a Mussafah supplier and a KIZAD plant do not share a reporting rule, and a government or energy customer will ask for the opinion again at vendor registration. In-country value certification is not the audit and should not be buried inside the audit quote. Tell us which reader needs the opinion and by which date. We will not send a Dubai mainland playbook to an ADGM entity.

ISZ Global matches you with vetted firms. You appoint. We do not file, we do not sign an audit, and we do not take a success fee. The shortlist is free for owners.

What the UAE audit rule actually says

Under Ministerial Decision No. 82 of 2023, corporate tax payers with revenue above AED 50 million, and all Qualifying Free Zone Persons, must prepare audited financial statements.

The auditor should not be the tax agent or the bookkeeper for the same entity. Free-zone authorities and banks often ask for an audit even when that tax rule does not apply.

Questions owners ask

Is ICV part of the Abu Dhabi audit?

No. It is a procurement score. The audit is a separate appointment.

Does ISZ Global do this work?

No. We introduce vetted firms. The firm you appoint does the work under its own licence. The shortlist is free for owners.
