Get Your ADGM Audit Report Accepted the First Time
Many Abu Dhabi Global Market companies file annual accounts only to get them returned for revision. Defective accounts cost time inside an already tight nine month filing window from the accounting reference date. An ADGM Registered Auditor or ADGM Recognised Auditor prepares your audit report to meet ADGM Registration Authority standards under the Companies Regulations 2020 the first time.
We handle annual accounts filing through the ADGM online registry solution, with the director’s report and board resolution approving accounts ready for submission. No revision requests. No delays.
Our ADGM Registration and Audit Credentials
Assurance Corps holds ADGM Registration Authority registration with confirmed ADGM Registered Auditor status. Our work follows Auditors Rules 2023, backed by professional indemnity insurance and full IESBA Code of Ethics compliance.
Every engagement applies International Standards on Auditing (ISA) with due skill care and diligence. Our registered audit principal holds an additional permit for financial institution audits, alongside EAAA UAE membership for accountability beyond internal policy.
ADGM Audit Filing Deadlines and Requirements
Your nine month filing window starts from the accounting reference date, or the first year filing deadline for new entities. Miss it and you risk a late filing penalty. Defective accounts filed through the ADGM online registry solution trigger a revision request, adding more delay.
Small company exemption applies under the USD 13.5 million turnover threshold and 35 employee threshold, with public interest entity exclusion and financial services firm exclusion applying regardless of size. Qualifying Free Zone Person status needs separate QFZP audit readiness, since Corporate Tax audit requirement independent of ADGM exemption applies on its own.

The ADGM Audit Process at Assurance Corps
Engagement scoping and entity classification
Every ADGM audit starts with entity type classification. A holding company, Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), operating company, or financial institution carries different risk. We confirm regulatory classification and audit exemption eligibility first, through entity specific risk assessment and size and activity assessment, before setting the scope of audit.
Fieldwork and financial statement testing
Fieldwork reviews your trial balance and general ledger against real records. We check bank statements and reconciliations, sales and purchase invoices, contracts and agreements, and payroll records. The fixed asset register, intercompany transactions, and related party transaction schedules get testing of key controls, substantive testing, and revenue and expense testing on receivables and payables.
Draft report and management representation
A draft audit report goes to management before anything is final. You sign a management representation letter, then review the auditor’s opinion and financial statement position. Audit findings communication happens through direct stakeholder review, ending with board resolution and director’s report for approval.
Filing through the ADGM online registry
Filing happens through the ADGM online registry solution, using the annual accounts filing service. We track your nine month filing deadline from the accounting reference date, or the first year filing deadline for new entities. This avoids defective accounts revision during ADGM Registration Authority submission.

Entity Types We Audit Under the ADGM Framework
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)
An SPV audit checks investment records against ownership documentation and funding agreements. We test shareholder funding, intercompany balances, and related party transactions inside the holding structure. Board approvals get verified at every stage. This is where SPV audit risk usually starts.
Holding companies
Holding company audits confirm investments match ownership records across the full group structure. We trace intercompany balances and shareholder funding between entities. Board approvals and related party transactions get reviewed for cross border consolidation accuracy before the report is final.
Investment funds and FSRA regulated entities
A regulated financial institution or public interest entity answers to the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA). We audit against FSRA Rulebooks and every prescribed reporting requirement. Capital adequacy gets tested directly. An additional permit requirement applies before we can issue a financial institution audit permit.
Fintech and technology companies
A fintech firm or DLT foundation counts as a technology driven business under ADGM. We check QFZP treatment eligibility for Qualifying Free Zone Person status, alongside UAE Corporate Tax readiness. This includes qualifying income analysis, economic substance evidence, and transfer pricing records.

UAE AUDIT & TAX AGENCY FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies an auditor as ADGM approved?
ADGM Registration Authority approval places a firm in the Registered Auditor category or Recognised Auditor category under the Auditors’ Framework. Financial institution work needs the additional permit for financial institutions, backed by professional indemnity insurance cover.
Do all ADGM companies require an audit?
Audit requirement depends on entity type, size, activity, and regulatory classification. Exemption status applies below the small company turnover threshold and employee count threshold, but never for a public interest entity.
How long does an ADGM audit take?
Audit engagement timeline depends on entity complexity and documentation readiness. Simple entities complete fieldwork duration faster. Complex structures extend the regulatory review cycle, especially where documents arrive incomplete or late.
Can the same firm handle my ADGM audit and UAE Corporate Tax filing?
Yes, through separate engagement letters with documented independence safeguards under the IESBA Code of Ethics. Corporate Tax filing and QFZP status mean the ADGM annual accounts obligation is assessed independently.
