Tell us who needs the report, the period it covers, the authority asking for it and the delivery date. We will confirm the reporting route, review the condition of your books and tell you what has to be resolved first.
Audit Support Built Around What Your Business Actually Needs
An audit request is not the same for every Sharjah business. A mainland company can face a different reporting requirement from a free-zone company, while a bank, investor or group head office can ask for a separate level of assurance. Bestax checks the purpose first so you do not spend time preparing the wrong report.
We also look at the condition of your books before the audit starts. If bank balances do not reconcile, inventory records are incomplete, related-party balances disagree or tax returns do not match the ledger, those items are identified early instead of becoming last-minute audit delays.
For ongoing record keeping, our accounting services in Sharjah can keep reconciliations, ledgers and supporting schedules ready throughout the year.
Auditors in Sharjah: What We Review
Good auditors in Sharjah do more than compare totals. The review should connect the financial statements to the records that support each material balance and transaction. Our audit-readiness work focuses on the areas that usually create questions, delays or adjustments.
Trial balance and general ledger
Together with the year-end closing entries behind them.
Bank statements and reconciliations
And any unusual cash movements across the period.
Customer and supplier balances
Ageing reports, and confirmations where required.
Inventory records
Costing, stock movement and count support.
Fixed assets
Additions, disposals and depreciation schedules.
Payroll and employee costs
With the supporting records behind them.
Loans and shareholder balances
And related-party transactions across the group.
Revenue recognition
Major contracts and supporting invoices.
VAT ledgers and filed returns
Reconciled back to the accounts.
Corporate Tax workings
Tax adjustments, and the link between the return and the financial statements.
Our team prepares a clear issue list so management knows what needs correction, what needs evidence and what only needs an explanation. This keeps the review focused and reduces repeated document requests.

Audit Services in Sharjah for Businesses and Free Zones
Our audit services in Sharjah are structured around the reason you need assurance. We scope the work before requesting documents, then align the accounting and tax support around that scope.
External and statutory audit readiness
We prepare ledgers, schedules, reconciliations and supporting files for an independent external audit. Where a licensing authority, bank or regulator requires a signed statutory report, the engagement must satisfy that authority's auditor acceptance rules. We confirm the required route at the start.
Internal audit and control review
We review financial processes, approval controls, cash handling, purchasing, revenue, inventory and other risk areas. You receive practical findings and actions your team can implement.
Financial statement review and year-end support
We help close the books, resolve unreconciled balances and prepare financial statement support so the year-end review starts from clean data.
Inventory and stock verification support
We help organise stock listings, movement reports, count instructions and reconciliation files for businesses where inventory is a major balance.
Corporate Tax and FTA audit support
We reconcile tax-sensitive balances, check the Corporate Tax return against the underlying accounts and organise evidence needed for an FTA review or information request.
Who Needs Audited Financial Statements Under UAE Corporate Tax Rules?
For Tax Periods starting on or after 1 January 2025, Ministerial Decision No. 84 of 2025 requires audited financial statements for a Taxable Person that is not a Tax Group when Revenue exceeds AED 50 million during the relevant Tax Period. A Qualifying Free Zone Person must also prepare and maintain audited financial statements.
A Tax Group must prepare and maintain audited special-purpose financial statements in the form and under the procedures specified by the FTA. These Corporate Tax rules are separate from any audit requirement set by a licensing authority, lender, shareholder agreement or other contract.
This distinction matters because not every request for financial statements requires the same report. We confirm the trigger, reporting period and receiving authority before the file is prepared.
Who the requirement reaches

2026 Sharjah Free-Zone Update
FTA Decision No. 6 of 2026
FTA Decision No. 6 of 2026 applies to Tax Periods starting on or after 1 January 2026. A Qualifying Free Zone Person carrying on the qualifying activity of distributing goods or materials in or from a Designated Zone must obtain an agreed-upon procedures report from an independent external auditor. The report follows ISRS 4400 and is submitted to the FTA no later than 30 days after the Corporate Tax return deadline, unless the FTA sets another date.
This is especially relevant to qualifying distribution businesses in Sharjah because Hamriyah Free Zone and Sharjah Airport International Free Zone appear on the FTA's published Designated Zones list. The extra procedure is activity-specific. It is not a blanket requirement for every company operating in those zones.
If your business operates in a Sharjah free zone and you are unsure which Corporate Tax conditions apply, our tax team can review the structure alongside the audit file.
Not sure which Corporate Tax condition applies to you?
Our tax consultants in Sharjah can review the tax position, while our corporate tax filing team can align the return with the final accounting records.
We confirm the trigger, reporting period and receiving authority before the file is prepared.
Income Tax Audit Sharjah: Corporate Tax and FTA Audit Support
People searching for income tax audit Sharjah support are usually trying to prepare for a UAE Corporate Tax review, an FTA tax audit or a request for tax records. These are different from an independent financial statement audit, so the file needs to be prepared for the correct purpose.
Bestax can review the Corporate Tax computation, trace key figures back to the ledger and financial statements, check supporting invoices and agreements, and organise records for FTA review. If a tax adjustment has been posted outside the accounting system, we also check that the audit trail is clear.
If your return is still due, our Corporate Tax return filing service can prepare the filing from the final records.
For formal representation and tax procedures, Bestax is an FTA-registered Tax Agency with Tax Agency Approval Number 30008692 and Tax Agent Number 20052643.
Bookkeeping Firm in Sharjah: Fix the Books Before the Audit
If the books are incomplete, starting the audit immediately can create repeated queries and extra correction work. A bookkeeping firm in Sharjah should first make sure the ledger agrees to the evidence behind it. Bestax can complete that cleanup before the audit-readiness stage.
- Complete missing bank reconciliations and investigate old reconciling items.
- Correct duplicate, missing or wrongly posted sales and purchase entries.
- Reconcile customer and supplier subledgers to the general ledger.
- Review opening balances against the prior-year closing records.
- Prepare fixed asset, loan, inventory and related-party schedules.
- Match VAT return totals to the accounting ledger and identify differences.
- Create a document index so invoices, contracts and payment evidence can be retrieved quickly.
This step is particularly useful when accounting has been delayed for several months, the accountant has changed, or multiple systems have been used during the year.
Businesses with unfinished historical records can use our accounting services in Sharjah to rebuild the records before audit testing starts.
Documents to Prepare Before Your Sharjah Audit
A complete document pack shortens the time spent chasing basic records. The exact request depends on the engagement, but most business audits start with the following:
Company and legal records
- Trade licence and amendments.
- Memorandum and Articles of Association or equivalent formation documents.
- Shareholder, branch and authorised-signatory details.
- Major contracts, financing agreements and lease documents.
Accounting records
- Trial balance and general ledger for the full period.
- Profit and loss statement, balance sheet and management accounts.
- Bank statements and completed reconciliations.
- Receivable and payable ageing reports.
- Fixed asset, inventory, loan and related-party schedules.
Tax records
- VAT returns, VAT transaction reports and tax invoices where relevant.
- Corporate Tax registration details, calculations and filed return where relevant.
- Transfer pricing support and related-party information where relevant.
- FTA notices, information requests or prior correspondence connected to the engagement.
We send a tailored request list after scoping so your team does not waste time collecting documents that are not relevant.
Audit Assistance in Sharjah: Our 6-Step Process
Our audit assistance in Sharjah is designed to make responsibility clear from day one. You know what we need, what we found and what must be resolved before the file can move forward.
Confirm the purpose and deadline
We identify who needs the report, the period covered, the relevant authority and any specific format or auditor acceptance requirement.
Review the books before testing
We check the trial balance, ledgers and core reconciliations to find gaps that can block progress.
Build the document request list
We request evidence by account area and assign each item a clear status so nothing gets lost in email chains.
Test and reconcile key balances
We review material balances, transactions and supporting records based on the agreed scope.
Resolve findings and adjustments
We explain issues in plain language, agree required corrections with management and update the supporting schedules.
Close the file and hand over the evidence pack
We organise the final schedules, supporting documents and open-item list for management, the external auditor or the relevant review process.
Common Problems That Delay an Audit
Most audit delays are not caused by one complicated accounting rule. They come from basic records that do not agree, cannot be traced or arrive too late. We look for these issues before they become a deadline problem.
- Bank reconciliations with old unexplained differences.
- Customer or supplier balances that do not match statements.
- Inventory totals with no count support or movement records.
- Owner expenses mixed with business costs.
- Intercompany and related-party balances that do not agree between entities.
- Revenue entries with missing contracts, invoices or delivery evidence.
- VAT returns that do not reconcile to the sales and purchase ledgers.
- Corporate Tax workings prepared from figures that differ from the final accounts.
- Opening balances that do not agree to the previous year's closing records.
- No internal person assigned to answer document requests and approve adjustments.
If your deadline is close, tell us the required delivery date at the start. We can prioritise the highest-risk gaps first and give you a realistic sequence for closing the file.
What You Receive From Bestax
