Special Purpose Audit

Special Purpose Audit Services in Dubai,UAE
What is a Special Purpose Audit?
A Special Purpose Audit is a non-statutory audit conducted to address a specific stakeholder requirement. Unlike statutory financial audits, this audit is:
Conducted under a defined scope agreed with the client
Tailored for a particular event, regulation, or entity
Delivered in a custom format with exact findings, confirmations, and disclosures
We execute these audits in line with International Standards on Auditing (ISA 800/805) and ensure all reports are UAE-compliant and regulator-ready.

FAQs on Special Purpose Audit in the UAE
Is a Special Purpose Audit the same as a statutory audit?
No. A statutory audit reviews full financials and issues an overall opinion. A special purpose audit is narrow in scope, often focused on a single issue or requirement.
Do Free Zones in UAE accept special purpose audit reports?
Yes, many Free Zones require or accept custom reports for compliance, license renewal, or capital verification.
Is a special purpose audit valid for FTA requirements?
Yes, when properly scoped, a special purpose audit can serve as supporting documentation for VAT or tax inspections.
