Clarity before you begin
A useful audit starts with the right questions.
Whether you are preparing year-end accounts, responding to a request for audited financial statements or reviewing internal controls, the first step is to understand what you need and who will use the results.
GrowBox works with businesses in Dubai and across the UAE to clarify the scope, organise the relevant information and address financial reporting questions. Tell us your business activities, reporting period and any approaching deadline so we can discuss suitable support.
Understand your accounts
Bring financial records and supporting evidence together to identify questions that deserve attention before important decisions.
Prepare with a clear plan
Work from an agreed checklist, clarify responsibilities and track missing documents and outstanding queries.
Clarify reporting needs
Confirm the intended recipient, required report and relevant requirements before the engagement starts.
Our audit services
The right scope for your business.
An audit, a compliance review and an internal control assessment serve different purposes. Choose the area you need help with, or speak to us if you are unsure.
Client acceptance & KYC
Start with the checks needed to understand your business and assess whether the audit engagement can be accepted.
- Verification of company details, authorised representatives and beneficial owners
- Customer due diligence, AML risk assessment and relevant screening
- Conflict-of-interest and auditor-independence checks before engagement acceptance
Financial statement audits
Build a clearer picture of your financial reporting through a structured examination of the accounts and supporting evidence.
- Review of financial statements and related schedules
- Examination of transactions and supporting records
- Discussion of queries and reporting requirements
Regulatory compliance reviews
Start with the purpose of the review, the reporting period and the requirements relevant to your business.
- Identify the requirements within the agreed scope
- Review relevant financial records and documentation
- Highlight gaps that need management attention
Risk management reviews
Understand where financial processes may expose your business to errors, missing information or weaknesses in oversight.
- Review of key financial processes
- Assessment of identified risks and their potential impact
- Practical priorities for follow-up
Internal control evaluation
Look closely at how transactions are approved, recorded and checked, and where responsibilities need to be clearer.
- Review of approval and authorisation procedures
- Assessment of reconciliations and separation of duties
- Recommendations to strengthen financial oversight
Audit readiness support

Know what you are requesting
Financial statements, controls or a specific requirement?
A financial statement audit focuses on the financial statements and supporting evidence. An internal control review looks at the processes your business uses to authorise, record and monitor transactions.
A targeted compliance review considers specified requirements within an agreed scope. These services are not interchangeable, so it helps to share the exact request you received.
Before requesting a quote
- Who is requesting the work: management, a bank, an investor or an authority?
- Which company and financial period are involved?
- What report, format and deadline have been requested?
- Are there any auditor appointment or approval requirements?
- Are your accounts and supporting records ready?
For a formal audit report, confirm the appointed auditor, eligibility and recipient requirements before work begins.
How we work
From your first question
to an agreed next step.
Start with a free initial consultation. We will discuss the purpose of the work, the condition of your records and the support you need.
Understand the requirement
Discuss your activities, reporting period, intended report recipient and deadline.
Agree scope and responsibilities
Confirm the proposed work, required documents, engagement arrangements and fees before paid work begins.
Review records and resolve queries
Organise information, review the evidence relevant to the engagement and clarify outstanding questions with your team.
Discuss findings and next steps
Review the agreed deliverables, any outstanding matters and practical follow-up actions for management.
Get your records ready
A smoother start begins with organised information.
The exact checklist depends on your engagement. These are common starting points for a productive discussion. You do not need to upload documents to request a consultation.
Company information
- Trade licence and business activities
- Ownership and company structure
- Reporting period and the request for the report
- Previous financial statements, where available
Accounting records
- Trial balance and general ledger
- Bank statements and reconciliations
- Sales, purchase and expense records
- Receivable and payable schedules
Supporting schedules
- Fixed asset and inventory records
- Payroll and relevant agreements
- Loan and related-party schedules
- Relevant tax records and correspondence
Practical preparation
Address the gaps before they delay the work.
Unreconciled bank balances, missing invoices and incomplete schedules can create extra questions during an engagement. Raising these issues early helps your team understand what must be resolved and who should provide the information.
If your records need preparation, explore our accounting and bookkeeping services. For VAT-specific requirements, visit our VAT services page.
What to expect
- A defined scope: a clear explanation of the work and deliverables.
- A relevant checklist: information requests matched to your circumstances.
- Clear communication: questions and outstanding matters discussed with your team.
- Agreed fees: a quote based on complexity, record quality and the work required.
Any audit conclusion depends on the evidence and findings. A particular opinion or acceptance by a third party cannot be guaranteed.
Your questions, answered
Audit services FAQs.
Is the initial consultation free?
Yes. The first consultation is free so we can understand your requirements and discuss the next steps. Audit work, reviews and record preparation are scoped and quoted separately.
Does every UAE business need the same audit?
No. Requirements depend on the company, its jurisdiction and the purpose of the report. Share the exact request or requirement so the relevant scope and auditor eligibility can be checked.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and an audit?
Bookkeeping records and organises transactions. An audit examines financial statements and supporting evidence under an agreed engagement. Keeping records does not by itself provide an independent audit opinion.
Can you help if our accounts are not ready?
Tell us what records you have and what is missing. We can discuss preparation support and a suitable checklist. Any preparation work should be separately scoped, with auditor independence requirements considered where relevant.
How long does an audit take?
Timing depends on the size and complexity of the business, the reporting period, the completeness of records and how quickly queries are answered. Share your deadline early so a realistic timetable can be discussed.
How much do audit services cost?
Fees depend on the scope, transaction volume, company structure and condition of your records. A quote follows a review of your requirements; there is no single fee suitable for every business.
Will an audit find every error or prevent fraud?
No. An audit does not guarantee that every error or fraud will be detected. Strong internal controls, accurate records and active management oversight remain important.
What should I include in my enquiry?
Tell us the service you need, the financial period, who requested the report and any deadline. Do not include passwords, bank details or confidential documents in the enquiry form.
