  • Prepare audit files to the required standard and ready them for director and partner sign-off.
  • Draft audit reports, management letters and reporting deliverables for a diverse regional client base.
  • Manage engagement budgets, recovery and billing, escalating issues to the engagement director.
  • Support compliance with the UAE Commercial Companies Law and applicable DFSA, FSRA and ESCA requirements.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • Proven ability to manage concurrent engagements to deadline and budget.
  • Demonstrated supervisory and file-review skills, with a focus on quality.
  • Confident written and verbal communication with clients and senior management; Arabic is an advantage.
  • Sound professional ethics and a clear understanding of auditor independence.

Preferred Experience:
