Internal Audit in Dubai
Test whether governance, risk management and internal controls operate as management believes they do.
Cost of Delay
There is no universal internal-audit fine. Weak controls can lead to fraud, leakage, regulatory findings and repeated operational failures.

Frequently asked questions
What does Regent include in its Internal Audit service?
Scope includes risk assessment and audit plan, process and control testing, findings and root-cause analysis, and remediation tracking. The proposal confirms entities, periods and exclusions.
When should we start and what will Regent need?
Start when the obligation, transaction, notice or deadline is known. Regent will issue a focused request list beginning with risk assessment and audit plan, entity details, records and dates.
Can we check our position before committing to the full service?
Yes. Use the Internal Audit Needs Assessment for an initial indication, then route the result to the appropriate Regent advisor.
How often should internal audit work be performed?
There is no universal frequency for every process. An internal audit plan should be risk-based and updated as the business, systems and regulations change. High-risk areas—such as cash, revenue, procurement, inventory, cybersecurity, sanctions or regulatory reporting—may need more frequent review than stable, low-risk processes. The board or those charged with governance should approve priorities and track remediation to closure.
