Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) Approved Auditors

The Middle East is slowly becoming the hub for business activities, and due to this reason, Dubai is turning out to be an important location for setting up a company for every upcoming businessman and entrepreneur. In line with the development in the Middle East, the Dubai Government has made a very strategic initiative to provide the people with a free zone which will provide an opportunity for all the upcoming and present businesses in the world.

Established in the year 2002, Dubai multi Commodities Centre or DMCC provides a designated space, a physical infrastructure to businesses all over the world. This helps the DMCC to establish itself as a very important centre for global commodities trade. DMCC is considered the largest free zone in the United Arab Emirates and is home to more than 12,000 companies from all over the world.

The 200 hectares of the all-purpose free zone has been divided into different zones. Each of the zones comprises three large towers, a central park, and two to three large lakes. The Free zone comprises 68 towers and a mixture of commercial, residential, and retail space spanning an area of 180,000-meter sq. DMCC acts as a hub for a wide range of diverse industries such as energy, agro, precious metals, diamonds, and various other key commodities markets in the United Arab Emirates. With the presence of so many business opportunities, there are chances of fraudulent activities and this is why it is necessary to utilize Approved Auditors in DMCC. 

The DMCC free zone is especially famous for housing diamond companies. Almas Tower, which is the headquarters of the DMCC, is the 31st tallest building in the world and houses more than a thousand diamond companies. The 68 floors in the Almas tower house separate diamond vaults, a diamond trading centre, and the Almas Conference Centre (ACC).

Dubai Multi Commodities Centre Approved Auditor

The importance of an audit is known to every businessman, and even the government of the United Arab Emirates has recognized the benefits of auditing to both a company as well as the economy of a country. With this thought in mind, conducting a financial Audit of a company has been made mandatory in the DMCC.

According to clause 62 of the DMCC Company Regulations, an auditor must be appointed by each and every company that is conducting business in the free zone or has been registered under DMCC. According to clause 64, the auditor should conduct annual audits of a company registered in the DMCC and share the audited financial data with the shareholders and company investors.

The auditor chosen by a business in the DMCC must be an approved auditor in DMCC who has been agreed upon by the management of the free zone. No other regular auditor can conduct an audit of a company in the free zone. If the business appoints an auditor who is not a DMCC approved auditor, then in such a case, the audit will be considered null and void, and the company will have to face fines and other consequences.
