What the zone requires
Three rules that decide your renewal
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.
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.
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. Dubai Healthcare 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.
If it slips
- 01
The licence renewal stalls
The authority can hold the renewal until the audited statements are submitted. Everything below follows from that one thing.
- 02
Visas follow the licence
Residence visas and new hires are tied to a current licence, so a delay reaches the team before it reaches the accounts.
- 03
Banking gets harder
Relationship reviews and facility renewals ask for current audited statements. An expired licence turns a routine check into a problem.
- 04
The work does not get smaller
A late start compresses the same fieldwork into less time, and books that have drifted have to be rebuilt before any of it can begin.
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 Healthcare City need an external audit?
Most DHCC free zone licences require audited financial statements as part of the annual renewal process. The exact requirement depends on your licence type and the authority's current renewal checklist, so it is worth confirming with DHCC or your auditor before the renewal date falls due.
02How much does an external audit cost in DHCC?
Audit fees depend on company size, transaction volume and the complexity of your 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 financial statements?
Audited financial statements are generally required at licence renewal time in DHCC, so the deadline follows your company's renewal date rather than a fixed calendar date. It is sensible to begin the audit process several weeks before renewal to avoid delays.
04What happens if I renew my licence without an audit?
Failing to submit required audited financial statements can hold up or block licence renewal in DHCC, since the authority checks for this document as part of the process. The specific consequences depend on DHCC's current rules, so it is best confirmed directly with the authority.
05Does the auditor need to be approved by DHCC?
Yes, Dubai Healthcare City requires audits to be carried out by an auditor on its approved list. Using a firm that is not approved by DHCC means the report will not be accepted at renewal, so it is worth checking approval status before engaging anyone.
06What documents does the auditor need from me?
An external auditor typically needs your trial balance, bank statements, sales and purchase invoices, payroll records, fixed asset registers and prior year financial statements. Exact requirements vary by company activity and size, and your auditor, such as Vigor, will confirm the full list once the engagement begins.
