What Is a Financial Audit?

A financial audit is a complete examination that is carried out by outside experts for the purpose of checking a company’s financial books, statements, and supporting documents. This is the stage at which the investor is assured that the financial information was accurate and complete and followed all existing laws and formal standards.

The objective of a financial audit is to add credibility to your enterprise in terms of its financial performance and operational reporting. Our systematic assessments of your financial statements act as an eye-opener for management problems, risk identification, and making decisions on company growth and stability.

Our auditors, at Risians Accounting & Tax Consultancy, will blend their technical expertise with thoughts of UAE regulations to facilitate accurate, reasonable, and actionable audit results.

Our Financial Audit Process

The financial audit process is rigorously structured and meticulously practiced at Risians Accounting & Tax Consultancy just to guarantee accuracy, transparency, and absolute compliance in the best conceivable manner as long as the scope allows. Basically, the approach of the process is said to cover the understated significant headings.

Initial Planning and Risk Assessment
If you want this to be successful, adequate planning and a well-assessed risk evaluation are obligatory. All we have to do next is to properly research, write out, and document the unknowns around your business, its structure, and its operations. Along with this comes the identification of potential threats in the areas of primary concern, compliance issues, and specific UAE filing requirements congruent with various types of industries in the UAE.
Review of Financial Records
Company finances, both in terms of absolute figures and their settings, are checked for authenticity, completeness, and compliance with the overall International Financial Reporting System (IFRS) and some local laws.
Testing and Validation
In truth, thorough day-to-day reports, day-to-day testing processes, reconciliations on high levels, and mainly comprehensive analyses of information and data from one related record need to be established, thus confirming the value of the analytical review of their business activities—and most importantly, they must not fail to report any errors, inconsistencies, or weaknesses in controls that could unfairly affect their business decisions.
Evaluation and Reporting

Post-examination and audit, we produce a formal written report about findings supported by recommendations aimed at presenting the true and fair view of your company’s financial position and performance.

Strategic Insights and Recommendations

Further to compliance, the final audit report always includes important operational criticisms and much-needed operational pieces of advice that could lead to an effective internal control system but, more importantly, help management in making intelligent decisions in positioning the company as a successful entity.

Final Review and Stakeholder Presentation

At this time, we finish off the audit proceedings and discuss our findings with management, internal and external stakeholders, or regulatory enforcement agencies. In doing so, anyone becoming a direct stakeholder would have the opportunity to question and cross-examine the actions of the audit.

Audit processes are what guarantee that they induce trust in the systems to allow for sustaining any similar business environment for the things mentioned vis-à-vis trade.

Why Financial Audit Services Are Important

Through financial audits and examinations, stakeholders have built trust and reliable information in the area of judgment to state accountability and confidence in their financial decisions. The most significant benefits of financial audits are:

  • Adherence to laws in the UAE and other international accounting standards
  • Increased precision and dependability of financial statements
