May 24, 2025

Introduction

In today’s competitive business environment, ensuring compliance and financial transparency isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s the foundation for sustainable growth. At Theta 7, we take pride in being approved auditors in Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), delivering reliable and comprehensive auditing solutions for businesses of all sizes. Through our licensed audit firm, AuditCo Times Auditors L.L.C, we combine technical expertise, regulatory compliance, and a client-first approach to provide financial clarity that drives smarter decisions.

Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) – A Premier Business Hub

RAKEZ is one of the UAE’s fastest-growing and most investor-friendly free zones, strategically located in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. It’s home to more than 18,000 companies from over 100 countries, ranging from startups and SMEs to large multinational corporations.

What makes RAKEZ stand out among other free zones is its cost-effectiveness, sector diversity, and world-class infrastructure. Entrepreneurs and corporations choose RAKEZ because it offers:

  • Affordable setup packages compared to other UAE free zones.

  • Diverse license options covering industrial, trading, services, and educational activities.

  • Strategic connectivity with direct access to major highways, airports, and seaports.

  • Business-friendly regulations designed to attract global investment.

  • Sector-specific zones like industrial parks, business centers, and academic zones tailored to different industries.

Unique Audit Requirements in RAKEZ

RAKEZ distinguishes itself not only as a business hub but also by enforcing a clear and structured audit compliance framework to ensure financial transparency. Key audit requirements include:

  • Annual Audit Submission – Most RAKEZ companies are required to submit audited financial statements every year for license renewal.

  • Approved Auditors Only – Audits must be conducted by auditors approved and listed by RAKEZ (such as Theta 7), ensuring reports meet the free zone’s regulatory standards.

  • IFRS Compliance – All audits must follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), ensuring consistency and global credibility.

  • Timely Reporting – Companies must submit their audited accounts within six months of the financial year-end to remain compliant.

  • Tailored Application – The level of audit scrutiny depends on the company’s size, license activity, and sector, ensuring proportional compliance without unnecessary burden.

By setting these unique audit requirements, RAKEZ not only safeguards financial transparency but also enhances investor confidence, positioning itself as a global-standard free zone.
