Starting in the renewal month
The same work, the same fee, considerably more stress — and sometimes a licence that lapses.

The audited financial statements your free zone asks for at renewal, the internal review your board asks for, and the preparation that keeps both from becoming an emergency.

Process
How it works
Each step says what we do and what we need from you, so nothing stalls on an unasked question.
Requirement check
What your zone, licence and stakeholders actually require — which is often less, or more, than assumed.
Timetable
Dates worked back from renewal, with the document deadlines on it.
Preparation
Records reconciled, schedules built, supporting documents assembled.
Fieldwork
Auditor queries handled by us, with one consolidated request to you rather than a drip.
Completion
Statements finalised and signed, filed where the authority requires it.
Follow-up
Management letter points turned into a short, prioritised action list.

What goes wrong
Common mistakes
These are the ones we are asked to unpick most often.
Assuming no audit is required because nobody asked last year
Requirements change and enforcement tightens. Check the current terms of your zone.
Letting the audited figures and the tax return diverge
They are looked at together. Reconciling them afterwards is the harder way round.
Ignoring the management letter
It is a free list of what will go wrong next year.
Why Aizaa
Four reasons you can check

When we do your accounting, audit preparation is a much shorter job.
One consolidated query list
Not four weeks of ad-hoc emails.
Audit and tax kept aligned
Because they are read together.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Many UAE free zones require audited financial statements for licence renewal, and the requirement varies by zone. We confirm your specific position in writing rather than generalising — and if an audit is not required, we will tell you that too.
At least three months before renewal. That turns the audit into a scheduled process rather than a scramble, and it usually costs less.
An external audit produces an opinion on your financial statements for third parties — your zone, your bank, your investors. An internal audit examines your own controls and processes for your own benefit. They answer different questions.
They should reconcile, and differences should be explainable. Where they are prepared separately by parties who do not speak to each other, they often do not — which is exactly the situation that invites questions.
Requires verification Whether Aizaa signs audit opinions itself or coordinates with a registered audit firm, and any registrations held, must be stated accurately here before this page is published. We will not claim a registration we do not hold.
