The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), UAE Ministry of Economy and Tourism, and Capital Market Authority (CMA) have launched their first joint Quality Management audit inspections. This initiative aims to enhance financial oversight and regulatory coordination across the UAE, improving standards for audit firms and reinforcing confidence in the financial reporting ecosystem. The inspections will evaluate how audit firms implement the International Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM 1), ensuring alignment with international best practices. This collaboration reflects the UAE's broader efforts to strengthen transparency, governance, and investor confidence as it positions itself as a leading financial hub. The initiative is part of ongoing reforms to enhance regulatory alignment and market development in the UAE's financial sector.
