Frequently asked questions
What does RAA Auditing do?
RAA provides independent audit and assurance services, alongside practical support in accounting, finance, tax, regulatory compliance and HR advisory through its wider ecosystem and strategic partners. Our role is to help clients meet statutory and regulatory obligations, improve financial reporting quality and build confidence with shareholders, lenders, investors and regulators.
Which jurisdictions does RAA support in the UAE?
RAA supports businesses across the UAE mainland and key free zone environments. RAA is registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZ) and Dubai Mainland. The exact scope of work depends on the entity’s jurisdiction, regulatory status and filing requirements.
What types of clients does RAA work with?
RAA works with owner-managed businesses, family offices, holding companies, real estate SPVs, trading and distribution businesses, professional services firms, hospitality groups, aviation-related entities, non-profit organisations and other UAE businesses requiring audit or assurance support.
How is RAA different from a larger audit firm?
RAA combines technical audit discipline with a practical, partner-led approach. As a team which has been trained and experienced in the larger audit firms, we bring the best of all and focus on responsive communication, proportionate audit delivery and clear reporting. Our clients receive direct access to experienced professionals while still benefiting from structured methodology, regulatory awareness and a strong quality mindset.
Can RAA support clients beyond the annual audit?
Yes. Where independence and professional standards allow, RAA can help clients identify reporting gaps, strengthen controls, prepare for audits, improve finance processes and connect with appropriate specialists for structuring, tax, regulatory, compliance and HR matters.
