Hussain Al Shemsi Chartered Accountants
Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) Approved Auditor
Hussain Al Shemsi Chartered Accountants is officially registered as an Approved Auditor for Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) under the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ). Only DIEZ-registered firms can audit, liquidate, or provide regulated financial services to companies licensed in the zone, so our registration means your DSO business gets IFRS-compliant audits, Corporate Tax and VAT support, and license renewal assistance from a firm authorized to serve you — helping you stay compliant and grow with certainty.
Established in 2004 and owned by the Government of Dubai, DSO is the region’s only fully integrated technology park — a live-work community built around six pillars: large enterprises, startups and SMEs, a university and innovation incubation centre, venture capital access, high-tech infrastructure, and streamlined government services.
Why an Audit Is Mandatory for Dubai Silicon Oasis Companies
What is a DSO audit? A DSO audit is an independent examination of a company's financial statements, conducted by an auditor approved by the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), the authority that governs Dubai Silicon Oasis. All companies licensed in DSO are required to maintain proper books of account and submit audited financial statements annually as part of their trade license renewal.
Dubai Silicon Oasis is one of the UAE's leading technology free zones, home to software companies, electronics traders, IT services firms, startups, and industrial businesses. Only audit firms officially registered with DIEZ can issue audit reports accepted by the DSO authority — which is why appointing an approved auditor for Dubai Silicon Oasis is essential.
Beyond license renewal, audited financial statements are increasingly critical under UAE Corporate Tax: free zone companies seeking Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) status and the 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income must maintain audited financial statements. Banks, investors, and government tenders also routinely request audited accounts.
Key fact: Audited financial statements from a DIEZ-approved auditor are required for DSO trade license renewal — and for free zone companies claiming the 0% UAE Corporate Tax rate as a Qualifying Free Zone Person.

DIEZ is the Dubai government authority that oversees Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Airport Freezone (DAFZA), and Dubai CommerCity. Only auditors registered with DIEZ can issue audit reports accepted for DSO company compliance.
Free zone companies that want to qualify as a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP) and benefit from the 0% Corporate Tax rate on qualifying income must maintain audited financial statements. An approved audit therefore supports both your DSO license renewal and your Corporate Tax position.
For most small and medium DSO companies with organised records, the audit is completed within one to three weeks. Timelines depend on the quality of bookkeeping, company size, and how quickly supporting documents are provided.
