DMCC-Approved Auditor Status

Bericht Audit and Advisory holds DMCC-approved auditor status, which the firm describes as a significant milestone reflecting its expertise in serving DMCC-registered companies. For these clients, the firm offers financial audit services that meet international standards and DMCC regulations, along with corporate tax return filing and advisory, DMCC Portal management, and AML compliance and regulatory services. The firm states that its team has extensive experience with UAE market requirements and DMCC-specific obligations.

DDA-Approved Auditors and Compliance Deadlines

Bericht is also a DDA-approved auditor, providing audit report services for companies licensed under the Dubai Development Authority. The firm notes that all DDA-licensed companies are required to submit audited financial statements within six months from the end of their financial year, a standard annual compliance requirement. Audit reports must be prepared and submitted to the DDA through the AXS portal before the end of this six-month period to avoid penalties or delays in license renewals. Bericht positions its DDA audit service as a way to ensure compliance with this timeline.

International Network and Global Perspective

Bericht Audit and Advisory is a member of Prime Global, a globally recognized network, which the firm says gives clients access to international expertise while maintaining a strong understanding of the UAE business environment. The firm reports partnerships with business partners from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and North America, and states that its network of associates helps it stay current with industry trends and market developments. Bericht is also a member of BNI Champions, which it describes as fostering creativity and collaboration.

The firm highlights that global connectivity supports business expansion, cross-border operations, improved financial reporting and compliance guidance, industry-specific insights, and more confident strategic decisions. These benefits are presented as particularly relevant for organizations seeking a Prime Global member in Dubai or the UAE.

Support for Western Business Owners in the UAE
