The role
What do DMCC approved auditors do?
They independently examine a member company’s financial statements and report under DMCC’s requirements.
For finance teams, a well-planned audit also creates a structured opportunity to address reporting issues before the accounts are finalised.
KGRN’s approach starts with your business activity, financial year, accounting records and reporting obligations. We identify the information needed and discuss matters requiring management’s attention as the audit progresses.
What an audit providesReasonable assurance about material misstatement in your financial statements.
What it does not doIt does not guarantee that every error or instance of fraud will be detected.
What you receiveAn independent auditor’s report, the required Summary Sheet and guidance for your Member Portal submission.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is an annual audit compulsory for every DMCC company?
Active companies generally require an annual audit. Specific exemptions and entity rules can affect the position. Review your company’s circumstances rather than assuming that size, low turnover or no tax payable removes the requirement.
Is KGRN listed as an approved audit firm?
Yes. KGRN Chartered Accountants LLC is listed under DMCC Account Number 141183. Check the official directory for current status before appointment.
Does my company need an audit if revenue is below AED 50 million?
Revenue below that threshold does not, by itself, remove a DMCC obligation. The free zone’s requirements and the Corporate Tax rules need to be assessed separately for your entity.
Can I change auditors before the next audit?
Yes, subject to the applicable appointment and removal procedures, acceptance checks and professional requirements. KGRN can discuss the information needed for an orderly transition.
Can KGRN help if our accounts are not ready?
We can assess what is missing and discuss the appropriate support. Any accounting engagement is considered separately from the independent audit and remains subject to independence requirements.
Does an audit confirm that we qualify for 0% Corporate Tax?
No. Free zone tax eligibility involves conditions beyond having audited accounts. A separate tax assessment should consider your activities, income, substance and other applicable requirements.
Will the auditor submit the documents for us?
DMCC’s process requires submission by an authorised company representative. KGRN provides the agreed auditor documentation and can guide that representative through the requirements.
What if our financial statements receive a modified opinion?
The auditor’s opinion depends on the evidence and findings. KGRN discusses significant reporting matters with management, but cannot promise an unmodified opinion or guarantee DMCC acceptance.
