About the role: Auditor

Auditors examine whether financial statements are reliable and whether controls and processes work as intended. External auditors give an independent opinion on a company's accounts, while internal auditors review risks, controls and compliance from inside the organisation.

In the UAE, external audit roles are concentrated in audit and accounting firms of all sizes in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, where many companies, including free zone entities, must have their accounts audited. Internal audit teams are found in government entities, conglomerates, real estate developers, retailers, airlines, energy and industrial groups.

Audit work is organised around busy seasons that follow year-end, with long hours in the first months of the year for companies with a December year-end. Experience with IFRS, International Standards on Auditing and, for internal audit, risk-based audit methods is expected.
