IFZA Liquidation Process

The IFZA business liquidation process involves preparing the necessary financial information and completing the relevant authority formalities. The exact steps may vary depending on the company’s circumstances.

Submit the Required Documents

The process begins with collecting the company’s trade licence, incorporation documents, bank records, and other relevant information. Complete documentation allows the IFZA liquidation auditor to assess the company’s financial position and begin the required work.

Review the Company’s Financial Records

The auditor examines the available financial information, including relevant transactions, bank balances, assets, and liabilities. Additional evidence may be requested if records are incomplete or certain balances need clarification.

Companies that also need to review their financial reporting history may require a separate financial audit report for IFZA. The appropriate service depends on the company’s circumstances and the purpose of the report.

Prepare the Liquidation Audit Report

Once the required information has been reviewed, Xact Auditing prepares the IFZA liquidation audit report in accordance with the requirements applicable to the engagement. The report supports the company’s closure application and must be submitted as part of the relevant process where required.

Complete the Company Closure Formalities

After the report is prepared, the company must complete the remaining requirements applicable to its closure. These may include shareholder resolutions, visa cancellations, bank account closure, settlement of outstanding liabilities and tax deregistration.

The liquidation report is one part of the wider IFZA company closure process in Dubai. Final licence cancellation depends on completing the applicable requirements and receiving the necessary clearances.

How Long Does It Take to Obtain an IFZA Liquidation Report?

Xact Auditing generally requires 5 to 7 working days to prepare the report after receiving all required documents and information.

The timeline may vary if financial records are incomplete, transactions need further examination, or additional clarification is required. This timeframe applies to report preparation, not the entire IFZA company deregistration or licence cancellation process.

If you are arranging IFZA company closure in the UAE, allow additional time for the authority’s procedures and any outstanding formalities.
