The property market in Dubai has grown significantly over a few decades and has experienced a large influx of investments in the property market. Our primary duty at Farahat and Co is to assist potential property owners and property management companies in completing their statutory Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) audit and provide expert consultation to jointly owned properties or owner association Management companies.
What is a RERA Audit Service in the UAE?
The Dubai land department has set legal standards for auditing, and “Audit Firms in Dubai” is one of the approved RERA auditors for auditing the management of JOPs. Real Estate developers need to submit a RERA, an annual audit report. Every owner’s association and JOP are ascertained to collect service charges from the property owners for the services provided. Top Audit firms in Dubai ensure that the fundamental basis of service charges that apply to owners are rightly calculated on the area of the unit against the ratio of the common area of the unit’s community. At Audit Firms in Dubai, we ensure that Owners Association management companies comply with the regulations of RERA and that the financial reporting is in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards of accounting.

- RERA has appointed approved audit firms to inspect and audit jointly owned properties as external auditors
