What the zone requires
Three rules that decide your renewal
- 01
Audited statements at renewal
Most free zone licences require audited financial statements before the authority will renew. The window and the format are set by the zone, so the date to work back from is your licence expiry.
- 02
Signed by an approved auditor
The zone will only accept a report from a firm on its own approved list. A report from a firm that is not listed is rejected at submission, whatever its quality.
- 03
Records kept for five years
Every UAE company must keep its accounting records for at least five years, which is separate from the audit itself and applies whether or not the licence requires one.
When to start
Count back from your licence expiry
The deadline is set by your renewal date, not by the calendar year, which is why two companies in the same zone can have completely different audit seasons.
90 days out
Engage the auditor
Scope and fixed fee agreed while there is still room to move.
60 days out
Records handed over
Books, statements and supporting documents. Backlog rebuilt first if there is any.
30 days out
Fieldwork and queries
Balances verified. Anything that does not reconcile is raised while it can still be corrected.
Renewal
Signed report submitted
Audited statements in the zone's format, in time for the licence.
Vigor’s working guidance for a straightforward set of accounts, counted back from your licence expiry. Auditors Registered in Dubai Production City sets the submission deadline and the accepted format, so the date to plan from is your own renewal date rather than a fixed month in the year.
How it runs
Four steps from engagement to a signed report
- 01
Engagement and scope
We confirm the zone, the licence type and the financial year, then issue a scope and a fixed fee in writing. Nothing starts before you have both.
- 02
Records and reconciliation
You send the books, bank statements and supporting documents. Where the books are behind, that backlog is quoted separately and rebuilt first.
- 03
Fieldwork and testing
Balances verified, controls tested, and anything that does not reconcile raised with you while there is still time to correct it rather than after signing.
- 04
Signed report for renewal
Audited financial statements in the format the zone accepts, signed by an auditor on its approved list, in time for the licence renewal window.

Answers
Questions about this zone
The six asked most often before an audit engagement starts.
01Do companies in Dubai Production City need an external audit?
Most free zone licences, including those issued by Dubai Production City, require audited financial statements for renewal. Whether your entity is caught depends on the terms of your specific licence category, so it is worth checking your renewal conditions directly with the free zone authority or your auditor before the deadline approaches.
02How much does an external audit cost in DPC?
Audit fees depend on the size of the company, the volume of transactions and the complexity of its accounts, so they are quoted after a proposal rather than fixed in advance. Bookkeeping support, if needed alongside the audit, starts at AED 599 per month for up to 50 transactions.
03When do I need to submit my audited accounts for licence renewal?
Free zones typically require audited financial statements to be submitted before the annual licence renewal date, though the exact cutoff varies by authority. Companies should check their own renewal date with Dubai Production City and arrange the audit well in advance to avoid delays.
04What happens if I renew my licence without an audit report?
Free zones that mandate audited accounts can withhold or delay licence renewal if the report is missing or incomplete, which can disrupt trading and visa processing. The exact consequence depends on the free zone's own rules, so confirming the requirement with Dubai Production City ahead of renewal is advisable.
05What documents does an auditor need from my company?
An auditor typically needs bank statements, sales and purchase invoices, payroll records, fixed asset registers, prior year financial statements and supporting contracts. The exact list depends on the nature and size of the business, and every UAE company is required to keep such accounting records for at least five years.
06How long does an external audit take?
Timing depends on the size of the company, the state of its records and how quickly requested documents are provided, so it varies from business to business. Well organised records generally shorten the process, while incomplete bookkeeping tends to extend it.
