Find an auditor
Register of ADGM auditors
If you are operating in ADGM and need to appoint an auditor, you can find a list of ADGM registered auditors, both firms and individuals, below. If you are required to submit audited accounts, they must be audited by an ADGM registered auditor.
ADGM’s new and robust Auditor’s Framework came into effect on 1 December 2021. All existing ADGM registered auditors have until their annual renewal date to re-register under the new Framework. The first table lists all the firms and individuals, namely Registered Auditors and Audit Principals, who have successfully registered under ADGM’s new Auditors’ Framework. The table also shows the Additional Permits held by the auditor (if any). ADGM registered auditors are required to hold Additional Permits if they are providing an audit opinion on ADGM listed entities and Financial Institutions.
The second table lists the ADGM Registered Auditors, namely Recognised Auditors and Responsible Individuals, who are currently in the transition period. These auditors must re-register under the new Framework by the date in the last column if they are to continue offering audit services in ADGM.
If you require assistance or have queries, please email monitoring@adgm.com where a member of the team will get back to you.
