What Is Financial Statement Audit?
A financial statement audit is an independent examination of a company’s balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, and related disclosures to confirm they are accurate, complete, and prepared in accordance with recognized accounting standards such as IFRS. It provides assurance to stakeholders that the reported financial position and performance fairly represent the company’s actual results. This audit forms the foundation for most regulatory, banking, and investor reporting requirements in the UAE.
