FAQ: Auditing Services in Dubai

What is the main difference between external and internal audits?

External Audits are statutory, focusing on financial statement accuracy for external stakeholders.
Internal Audits evaluate governance, risk management, and operational efficiency, reporting to management and the board.
Both enhance organizational controls but serve distinct audiences and objectives.

How do you assess audit risk and materiality?

Risk Assessment: Identify areas with highest likelihood of error or fraud based on industry, size, and complexity.
Materiality Thresholds: Set quantitative (e.g., 5% of profit before tax) and qualitative (e.g., related-party transactions) benchmarks.
Continuous Review: Re-evaluate risk and materiality throughout the engagement, adjusting sample sizes and scopes as needed.

Are IT controls audited as part of a financial audit?

Yes. Financial audits increasingly incorporate IT General Controls (ITGCs) and Application Controls to validate data integrity, access management, and system change controls under SSAE 18 or ISO 27001 frameworks.

What credentials do your auditors hold?

StandardMe auditors are ACCA-, CPA- or CIA-qualified, backed by continuous professional education and adherence to IFAC’s Code of Ethics—ensuring independence, objectivity, and technical excellence.

How is audit confidentiality maintained?

Strict NDAs: Enforced for all team members.
Secure Data Rooms: ISO 27001-certified platforms.
Limited Access: Role-based permissions and encrypted transmissions.

Can audits be combined with other services?

Absolutely. Clients often bundle auditing with Tax Advisory, Accounting Outsourcing, or Compliance Services for seamless financial governance under one provider

What happens after the audit report is issued?

Management Response: Formal feedback on findings and action plans.
Follow-Up Engagements: Verify remediation and control enhancements.
Continuous Monitoring: Ongoing advisory to maintain robust controls.
