Where DMCC Companies Need Help
The recurring compliance and reporting issues we see with DMCC clients.
Mandatory Audit at Renewal
DMCC requires audited financial statements from every member at renewal. Late or non-compliant audits put your licence renewal at risk.
DPMS & AML Obligations
Precious metals and stones traders are Designated Non-Financial Businesses & Professions (DNFBPs) — goAML registration, sanctions screening and STR/SAR reporting are mandatory.
Crypto & DeFi Reporting
DMCC has dedicated crypto licensing — accounting treatment of digital assets, valuation and Corporate Tax implications need specialist handling.
Approved Auditor Requirement
DMCC publishes an approved auditor list. WPAA prepares your books to the standard those auditors expect, removing delays.
Substance for QFZP Status
Qualifying Free Zone Person status (0% Corporate Tax) requires demonstrable substance — staff, premises and decision-making in DMCC.
