HMA Service
Statutory, internal and tax-related assurance support by a Ministry of Economy licensed audit firm in the UAE.
Ministry of Economy licensed auditors — independent, accepted across all UAE free zones.
Overview
Audit is more than a compliance tick-box. It provides evidence, reporting discipline and professional assurance for owners, banks, authorities and stakeholders. HMA is licensed by the UAE Ministry of Economy as an audit firm and supports statutory audits, internal audit and controls reviews, tax-related audit support, revenue audits and interim or quarterly reviews. Certain assurance and advisory engagements may be subject to applicable professional independence and regulatory requirements.
Where assurance findings raise wider governance, control or transaction questions, those matters can be considered separately through Corporate Advisory.
Many UAE free zones and mainland situations require audited financial statements for licence, banking, tax, stakeholder or authority purposes. HMA is licensed by the Ministry of Economy and supports statutory external audits in line with the applicable authority and professional requirements.
Internal audit gives management an evidence-led view of whether operations, controls and risk processes are working as designed. HMA reviews processes, identifies control gaps, tests effectiveness and provides practical reporting within the agreed scope.
With Corporate Tax now in force and VAT audits intensifying, a proactive tax audit identifies exposure before the FTA does. We review your registrations, returns, input VAT recovery, transfer pricing positions, and supporting documentation — flagging issues you can fix before they become penalties.
Revenue audits verify that reported income matches your business records, contracts, and supporting documents. They're often required for performance-linked contracts, royalty calculations, franchise audits, and lender covenants. We deliver an independent, defensible report on the agreed scope.
Many banks and regulators now require interim or quarterly financial reviews — a lighter-touch engagement than a full audit but with independent assurance. We deliver review reports on a timeline that matches your reporting calendar, ideal for facilities, investor reporting, or group consolidation.
Process
We understand your business, identify risk areas, agree the audit scope, and confirm timelines with you upfront — no surprises.
On-site or remote examination of transactions, internal controls, and supporting documentation, with clear communication on any issues found.
A clear independent report delivered within the agreed scope and timeline, with professional boundaries maintained where independence requirements apply.
Frequently Asked
Audit requirements depend on the jurisdiction, licence, authority rules, banking arrangements and stakeholder requirements. Many free-zone and mainland companies need audited accounts for licence, bank, tax or governance purposes. HMA confirms the requirement after reviewing the entity.
Standard SME statutory audits take 2–4 weeks from fieldwork start to signed report, depending on the quality of your records. We agree the timeline at planning stage and stick to it.
HMA is licensed by the Ministry of Economy and works with major UAE free-zone and mainland audit requirements. Acceptance depends on the relevant authority, engagement scope and listing or registration rules.
Independence rules prevent us from auditing books we've prepared for the same entity. We can either audit you (if a third party does your accounting) or run your accounting (if a different auditor audits you). Many clients use us for accounting and a separate firm for audit, or vice versa.
Fees depend on entity size, transaction volume, complexity, and the audit standard required. SME audits typically range from AED 8,000 to AED 25,000. We quote a fixed fee after a brief scoping call — no hourly billing surprises.
