Audit & Assurance

A clean, first-year audit typically runs eight to twelve weeks from planning to signed report shorter when the books already close on time. The calendar is set at kick-off. What stretches it is not the opinion. It is missing recs, late cut-off, and a request list that sits unanswered.

We hold Ministry of Economy audit registration for mainland and many free zones. Before engagement, we confirm approval against your specific authority DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA, and others maintain their own approved-auditor lists. The firm and the signing partner must both be current.

At Mantra, we confirm we sit on your authority's list before you instruct us. Let's talk.

Yes. Partner-level review sits on every engagement during the work, not only at sign-off. Findings are raised while there is still time to fix them. The opinion is the last page. The work is what the business learns before it.

We raise them while you can still fix them. Adjustments are discussed with management, agreed, and reflected in the draft. A management letter with recommendations follows each with an owner and a date so the next audit is not the first time anyone looked.

Yes. Consolidation reviews and group packs for entities that report across jurisdictions so the Dubai file and the parent pack tell the same story. Agreed-upon procedures when a full statutory opinion is not what the stakeholder needs.

At Mantra, we can hold the Dubai file and the parent pack as one story. Let's talk.
