DMCC Update: Annual Financial Statements & Audit Filing Requirements

Companies registered in the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) are required to comply with mandatory annual financial statement preparation and audit filing obligations under DMCC Company Regulations. These requirements apply to all entity types, including holding companies and inactive structures.

Our factsheet provides a concise overview of the key compliance obligations, including the preparation of IFRS-compliant financial statements, mandatory appointment of a DMCC-approved auditor, filing timelines via the DMCC Member Portal, and the consequences of non-compliance.

It also highlights common compliance gaps observed in practice and outlines the importance of early preparation to avoid delays in audit completion and licence renewal.

We also set out how we can support clients through the full process, from bookkeeping and financial reporting to audit coordination and portal submission.
