Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) is one of the UAE’s most dynamic free zones, purpose-built to drive innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship.

Importance of DSO-Approved Auditors

Companies operating within DSO are mandated to have their financial books audited by registered audit firms located within the free zone. This requirement, as per Regulation Number (1/2006), ensures that businesses maintain financial transparency and comply with the stringent standards set by the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA).

Why Is Choosing an Approved Auditor in DSO Important?

DSO, a free zone designed for tech-focused businesses and innovation hubs, mandates that companies appoint auditors approved by the Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority (DSOA). Why? Because:

• Annual audits are a compliance requirement for license renewals.

• The audit must be conducted by an auditor listed on the DSOA’s approved panel.

• Failure to comply can lead to penalties, fines, or even license suspension.
