DHCC Approved Auditor Is Mandatory for Your Company
Every company in Dubai Healthcare City needs a DHCC approved auditor before commercial license renewal. DHCA, the licensing authority for this healthcare free zone, works alongside DHCR in a dual regulatory structure that splits financial audit from clinical compliance. A DIC Approved Auditor with valid qualifications can help businesses meet the required audit standards and regulatory expectations.
Dubai Law No. 16 of 2024 sets the legal basis; DHCA Rule No. 1 of 2025 replaced Rule No. 1 of 2018. This annual audit requirement protects patient safety and builds regulatory confidence. Your auditor also needs valid Ministry of Economy auditor registration.
DHCC Audit Requirements and Filing Deadline
DHCC ties audited financial statements to your annual commercial license renewal, due on your company’s own renewal anniversary date. Statements must include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and statement of changes in equity.
If your audit isn’t ready, DHCA R accepts a Financial Statements Summary Sheet as an interim alternative. Non compliance causes license renewal delay and clinical operating approval risk, plus a penalty. A record keeping requirement demands five year record retention.
How to Verify a DHCC Approved Auditor
Check your firm against the DHCA maintained approved auditor list before you sign an engagement letter. This approved auditor register confirms current approval status, so your audit firm verification takes minutes, not weeks.
A valid Ministry of Economy auditor registration certificate and no conflict of interest satisfy the independence requirement. The listed auditor requirement means only a DHCC approved audit firm avoids back and forth report acceptance at renewal.

Our DHCC Audit Process
Business understanding
We start with an initial consultation and sign an engagement letter. Then we run a business activity review covering your license type, ownership structure, and financial reporting needs. This step sets the scope before any fieldwork begins.
Records review
Next comes trial balance review and general ledger review, alongside your management accounts. We run bank reconciliation and supporting document verification. An expense record review and final completeness check close this stage.
Fieldwork and testing
Fieldwork covers revenue testing, professional fee testing, and supplier payment testing. We add payroll testing and key balance verification across your accounts. A tax compliance review includes a VAT record check and corporate tax record check.
Report and submission
We move to audit report preparation and financial statement finalization. Then comes DHCA portal submission with audited financial statements upload. Your license renewal submission follows once DHCA confirms receipt.
Who Must Submit Audited Financial Statements in DHCC
Free Zone LLCs (FZC LLC)
An FZC LLC, or Free Zone Limited Liability Company, is an independent legal entity and DHCC’s most popular company formation. It needs a minimum one shareholder and a minimum one director.
Branches of UAE based companies
A branch of UAE company is a legally dependent branch, not a separate entity. Its UAE registered parent entity stays fully liable. Branch registration still triggers the same audit duty inside DHCC.
Branches of foreign companies
A branch of a foreign company lets a non UAE registered parent company operate directly in DHCC. This foreign entity establishment needs no minimum capital requirement to register.

Affiliations
Documents Required for Your DHCC Audit
Start with your DHCC trade license, certificate of incorporation, and Memorandum and Articles of Association, plus shareholder details, director details, and manager details. Add your lease agreement, trial balance, general ledger, profit and loss statement, and balance sheet.Include bank statements with bank reconciliation, sales invoices, purchase invoices, supplier contracts, and customer contracts. Bring your fixed asset register, payroll records, VAT registration certificate, VAT returns, corporate tax registration details, and previous audited financial statements.
DHCC Audit and Healthcare Specific Transactions
Insurance reimbursement timing
Every insurance claim carries a reimbursement lag that a generic audit often misses. We track receivables aging against actual payer reconciliation data. This confirms real claim settlement timing, not assumed timing.
Professional fee structures
Professional fee income needs a clear clinician fee split before any testing starts. We check your service fee arrangement against contracts on file. Correct fee revenue recognition keeps your statements accurate.
Medical equipment depreciation
We verify your fixed asset register against each item’s real equipment useful life. Your depreciation schedule must match actual capital expenditure records. Any asset impairment gets flagged before report stage.
Patient billing reconciliation
Each patient invoice feeds into full billing system reconciliation. We test accounts receivable for unbilled revenue and unresolved balances. A proper write off adjustment closes out uncollectible amounts.

Statements are due on your renewal anniversary date, a company specific renewal date. DHCC has no single fixed calendar date applying to all companies.
Who can audit a DHCC company?
Only a DHCA approved auditor with current approval status on the approved auditor register can sign a DHCC company’s audit report.
