DIFC Audit Requirements Al Fakher Accounting, Dubai
At Al Fakher Accounting, Dubai, we are proud to be among the DIFC-registered auditors, authorized to conduct audits for companies operating within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) one of the world’s leading financial free zones.
As per DIFC regulations, all entities operating within the zone must have their books of accounts audited by approved auditors and submit their audited financial statements to the DIFC Authority within four months after the end of their financial year.
This external audit report is a mandatory requirement for trade license renewal. Companies that fail to submit a valid audit report from a DIFC-approved auditor will not be eligible for license renewal.
The audit ensures financial transparency, confirms compliance with regulations, and reduces the risk of financial irregularities. DFSA (Dubai Financial Services Authority) regulates companies in the financial and other regulated sectors, while the DIFC Authority oversees non-regulated entities.
As a trusted auditing firm in Dubai, Al Fakher Accounting ensures that your business remains compliant and audit-ready, meeting all DIFC standards with accuracy and professionalism.

Why Audit is Mandatory from Approved Auditors in DIFC
At Al Fakher Accounting, Dubai, we understand the importance of maintaining financial transparency and regulatory compliance for companies operating within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
As per DIFC Authority regulations, every company is required to submit audited financial statements within four months after the end of their financial year. Failing to do so may lead to non renewal of the trade license or other regulatory penalties.
Choosing DIFC-approved auditors, like Al Fakher Accounting, ensures that your books are reviewed by professionals who are fully compliant with DIFC laws and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Our audit reports provide a true and fair view of your financial position while verifying that your company operates strictly within its licensed activities.

To comply with DIFC audit requirements, companies must maintain accurate, up-to-date accounting records, including:
Details of assets and liabilities
Day-to-day entries of financial transactions
