What the zone requires
Three rules that decide your renewal
Audited statements at renewal
Most free zone licences require audited financial statements before the authority will renew. The window and the format are set by the zone, so the date to work back from is your licence expiry.
Signed by an approved auditor
The zone will only accept a report from a firm on its own approved list. A report from a firm that is not listed is rejected at submission, whatever its quality.
Records kept for five years
Every UAE company must keep its accounting records for at least five years, which is separate from the audit itself and applies whether or not the licence requires one.
When to start
Count back from your licence expiry
The deadline is set by your renewal date, not by the calendar year, which is why two companies in the same zone can have completely different audit seasons.
90 days out
Engage the auditor
Scope and fixed fee agreed while there is still room to move.
60 days out
Records handed over
Books, statements and supporting documents. Backlog rebuilt first if there is any.
30 days out
Fieldwork and queries
Balances verified. Anything that does not reconcile is raised while it can still be corrected.
Renewal
Signed report submitted
Audited statements in the zone's format, in time for the licence.
Vigor’s working guidance for a straightforward set of accounts, counted back from your licence expiry. Dubai South , Dubai World Central Approved Auditors sets the submission deadline and the accepted format, so the date to plan from is your own renewal date rather than a fixed month in the year.
How it runs
Four steps from engagement to a signed report
- 01
Engagement and scope
We confirm the zone, the licence type and the financial year, then issue a scope and a fixed fee in writing. Nothing starts before you have both.
- 02
Records and reconciliation
You send the books, bank statements and supporting documents. Where the books are behind, that backlog is quoted separately and rebuilt first.
- 03
Fieldwork and testing
Balances verified, controls tested, and anything that does not reconcile raised with you while there is still time to correct it rather than after signing.
- 04
Signed report for renewal
Audited financial statements in the format the zone accepts, signed by an auditor on its approved list, in time for the licence renewal window.

What it depends on
Why audit is quoted rather than published
What moves an audit fee
Audit is quoted with a proposal rather than published, because these four things decide the work. Answer them and you will see the shape of the engagement, which is the part a fee follows from.
Transactions a month
The single biggest driver. It is the volume of testing, not the size of the turnover.
Bank accounts
Every account is its own reconciliation, and multi-currency accounts are two.
Entities on the licence
A group consolidates. Each company still needs its own audited statements.
State of the books
Books that are behind are rebuilt before the audit starts, and quoted separately.
Answer all four to see the shape
0 of 4Nothing here is a price. It is what a proposal is built from.
Government Agencies
We work closely with all Government Agencies
Company formation, licensing, visas, customs codes and tax registration all pass through these authorities. Start a company setup.
Answers
Questions about this zone
The six asked most often before an audit engagement starts.
01Do companies in Dubai South or Dubai World Central need an external audit?
Most free zone licences, including those issued in Dubai South and DWC, require audited financial statements as part of the annual renewal process. Whether this applies to your entity depends on your specific free zone authority rules and licence type, so it is worth checking your renewal conditions directly with the authority or your auditor.
02How much does an external audit cost in Dubai South?
Audit fees depend on the size of the company, the volume of transactions and the complexity of the accounts, so they are quoted after a proposal rather than fixed in advance. A firm reviewing your records can give an accurate quote once it understands your turnover and reporting requirements.
03What happens if I miss the audit deadline for licence renewal?
Free zone authorities generally will not process a licence renewal without the required audited financial statements, so a delayed audit can hold up your renewal and, in turn, your trade licence validity. The exact consequence depends on the authority's own rules, so it is best confirmed with Dubai South or DWC directly.
04Does my company need to be audited by an FTA approved auditor?
Free zone authorities typically require the audit to be carried out by an auditor registered on their approved list, and Dubai South and DWC maintain such lists. Being FTA approved for tax matters and being on a free zone's approved auditor register are separate approvals, so it is worth checking both before appointing a firm.
05How long does an external audit take to complete?
Timing depends on how organised your accounting records are, the number of transactions and how quickly supporting documents can be provided. A company with clean, up to date books can usually complete fieldwork and reporting faster than one needing reconstruction of records, so the exact duration is confirmed once the scope is known.
06What documents does the auditor need from us?
Auditors typically request bank statements, general ledgers, sales and purchase invoices, fixed asset registers, prior year financial statements and supporting contracts, along with VAT and corporate tax filings where applicable. The full list depends on your business activity and the financial period under review, and is confirmed at the start of the engagement.
