Our Commitment
Audit and assurance that goes beyond the report.
External auditing has never been so strategically important for businesses looking to grow and thrive in the UAE — particularly as audit reports are now mandatory for most companies registered in the country.
At RAA, we recognise that audit risk is affected by the business risks you face and how well you manage them. That’s why we analyse your key business processes to identify potential issues before they arise — not just address the challenges of today, but anticipate those of tomorrow.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
When should we appoint an auditor?
It is best to appoint an auditor early, ideally before year-end or shortly after the financial year closes. Early appointment allows time to plan the audit, agree deliverables, review documentation needs and identify potential reporting issues before filing deadlines become urgent.
How can we request an audit proposal from RAA?
You can contact RAA with your entity name, jurisdiction, licence type, financial year-end, business activity, turnover, number of entities, regulatory status and any filing deadline. RAA may request recent financial statements or trial balances to prepare an appropriate scope and fee estimate.
What affects the audit fee?
Audit fees depend on factors such as entity size, complexity, number of bank accounts, transaction volume, group structure, regulatory status, accounting quality, availability of records, number of locations, inventory requirements, related-party activity and whether prior-year issues remain unresolved.
Can RAA take over from our current auditor?
Yes, subject to professional acceptance procedures. RAA will consider independence, competence, risk, management integrity, outstanding fees or disputes, professional clearance and access to prior-year information where appropriate before accepting the engagement.
How does RAA protect confidential information?
RAA treats client information with strict confidentiality and uses it only for agreed professional purposes, unless disclosure is required by law, regulation or professional standards. Clients should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive personal data and should use secure channels for confidential information
Who will manage our audit engagement?
RAA’s engagements are managed by experienced audit professionals with appropriate partner oversight. The team structure depends on the size, risk profile and complexity of the engagement, ensuring that the work is planned, reviewed and delivered to the required professional standard
What happens after the audit report is issued?
After the audit report is issued, management may use the audited financial statements for filing, shareholder reporting, bank submissions, investor discussions or internal governance. RAA may also discuss key audit findings and improvement areas with management or those charged with governance.
What should we prepare before speaking to RAA?
Useful information includes the entity name, jurisdiction, licence, ownership structure, financial year-end, deadline, latest trial balance or financial statements, number of bank accounts, key activities, major contracts, prior auditor details and any known accounting or compliance issues.
