Audit & Assurance
The SAIF-Zone is a representation of effective operations and the superior option for commercial initiatives in the UAE and elsewhere. The SAIF-Zone is located next to the Sharjah International Airport and is conveniently close to seaports in the Arabian Gulf (Port Khalid) and the Indian Ocean (Port Khor Fakkan).
The SAIF Zone authority requires that the auditing be performed by the listed auditors. Businesses must comply with the annual audit requirement to avoid financial irregularities. However, due to strict regulations, companies are not permitted to have their books of accounts audited by auditors who are not on the SAIF Zone-approved auditors list.
Yes, all companies registered in SAIF Zone Sharjah must obtain an audit from an auditor certified by SAIF Zone. All businesses are required by SAIF Zone laws to submit their balance sheets (financial reports) before the end of each fiscal year for audit by an authorized auditor. When renewing a trade license, within three months after the conclusion of the Free Zone Establishment's fiscal year, or within a such longer period as the Authority may specify, each company must send a copy of its yearly audited financial statements to the FZE Department.
They will be subject to a fine for noncompliance under the SAIF Zone Company Regulations if they don't comply.
According to the implementing laws, businesses registered in the SAIF Zone are required to select an independent auditor from a list of authorized audit firms there. An external audit of the firm's annual accounts must be conducted by the approved auditor chosen by a company in the SAIF Zone, and the company must receive a report on the results.
According to the SAIF Zone Memorandum of Association, companies must submit their Audited Financial Statements to the SAIF Zone authorities within 90 days of the end of the fiscal year. The audit report, along with the signed audited final statements, must be submitted to the authority.
If a company in the SAIF Zone fails to submit audited financial statements to the Authority within the time frame specified, it will be subject to a penalty for non-compliance with the SAIF Zone Regulations. The primary risk that companies face for not submitting audited financial reports issued by the Approved Auditor on the SAIF ZONE Auditors List is the loss of their SAIF Zone trade license.
Because of its efficient business setup procedures and ideal location, the SAIF-Zone has been attracting investors for nearly 25 years. Sharjah is known as the UAE's industrial backbone among the seven emirates. Sharjah is home to roughly 40% of the UAE's total industries. Petrochemicals, textiles, leather, food, and other non-metal industries are among the top industries in Sharjah.
