What it depends on
Why an internal audit is scoped before it is priced
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

Answers
Questions asked before an internal audit starts
The 6 asked most often about Information System Audit.
01Is an information system audit mandatory for a UAE company?
No single UAE law makes an information system audit compulsory for every business. It becomes necessary where a sector regulator requires it, where a client or partner contract calls for it, or where a company seeks ISO or similar certification. Whether it applies to you turns on your industry, your regulator, and the sensitivity of the data your systems hold.
02How much does an information system audit cost in the UAE?
There is no fixed published fee. Cost depends on the number of systems, networks and applications in scope, the complexity of your IT environment, and whether the review covers a single department or the whole organisation. A firm will quote a price once it has reviewed your setup and agreed the scope with you.
03How often should an information system audit be done?
There is no statutory UAE deadline. Good practice is to run one annually, and again after any major system change, migration, or security incident. Regulated entities may face a frequency set by their regulator. The right interval for you depends on how much your systems change and how sensitive the data they hold is.
04What happens if IT vulnerabilities are left unaddressed?
Unmanaged vulnerabilities can lead to data breaches, unauthorised access, and disruption to operations, and may trigger obligations or penalties under separate UAE data protection or sector rules if customer or financial data is exposed. An audit identifies weak points before they are exploited rather than after an incident forces the issue.
05Does my business need an information system audit?
Businesses that handle sensitive customer data, process financial transactions, rely heavily on networked systems, or fall under a regulator with IT governance requirements generally benefit from one. Whether it is necessary for you turns on the type of data you hold, your sector, and any contractual or regulatory obligations you are subject to.
06What documents does the auditor need from us?
Typically network diagrams, IT policies and access control procedures, system and asset inventories, user access logs, and any previous audit reports or incident records. Having these ready before the review starts lets the auditor identify threat sources, detect high risk points, and check for computer abuse more efficiently.
