The Dubai Gold and Diamond Park is one of the UAE’s most prestigious business hubs, specifically designed for the gold, diamond, and precious metals trade. Established as a free zone, it provides investors and entrepreneurs with world-class facilities, including retail showrooms, manufacturing units, and commercial offices.
Businesses in the Gold and Diamond Park range from jewelry retailers and manufacturers to logistics companies, service providers, and trading firms. It serves as both a shopping destination for visitors and a thriving business ecosystem for investors.
Given the sensitive nature of jewelry, gold, and high-value commodities, transparent financial reporting and auditing are crucial. Companies operating here must comply with UAE regulations, free zone authority rules, and international accounting standards. This ensures credibility, investor trust, and regulatory protection.
All free zone companies in Dubai, including those in the Gold and Diamond Park, are required to submit annual audited financial statements.
Even smaller businesses benefit from audits as they provide financial clarity, credibility, and compliance assurance.
For multinational firms, an audit is not just a legal requirement but also a trust-building tool for global stakeholders.
DGDP mandates that only auditors approved by its authority—and listed by the Ministry of Economy—are permitted to conduct and submit audit reports. This ensures compliance with regulatory definitions unique to the gold and diamond trading ecosystem
Annual audits are essential for license renewal in DGDP. Failure to submit audited financial statements may result in trade license suspension or non-renewal
As a specialized hub for precious metals, DGDP operations are governed by stringent due diligence rules related to gold sourcing. Companies must maintain governance systems, conduct supply chain risk assessments, train staff on due diligence, and select auditors familiar with AML-CFT and OECD standards. Penalties for non‑compliance can be substantial—up to AED 5 million
While DGDP-specific details on an audit submission portal are not universally publicized, businesses typically submit audit reports through the DGDP authority’s official channels. These could include digital uploads via a dedicated free zone portal, or direct submission of signed audit reports at the DGDP office—similar to other UAE zones
