Licensed Audit Firm in Kuwait | Certified IFRS Auditor
AUDIT SERVICES IN KUWAIT - ALKHUZAM & CO
Why Kuwait Law Requires an Independent Audit
Under Companies Law No. 1 of 2016, every business entity registered in Kuwait must:
Maintain proper accounting records throughout the financial year.
Prepare financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Have those statements audited by a licensed independent auditor.
Companies regulated by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) or the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) carry out additional obligations - including quarterly audited financials.
Failing to meet these requirements does not just create a legal exposure. It damages your ability to raise capital, apply for financing or attract the kind of investors and partners that matter.
Audit Services that go Beyond Compliance
At Alkhuzam & Co, we are licensed audit firm based in Kuwait, operating as an independent member of Morison Global. We serve businesses across Kuwait - from early-stage companies filing their statutory audit to holding groups with multi-entity reporting obligations.
Our job does not include a simple authorised signatory - rather it is to ensure the financials accurately reflect your business, satisfy Kuwait's regulatory requirements, and give every stakeholder - shareholder, regulator or investor - a reason to trust the financials in front of them.
External Audit
Annual external audits for all company types — LLCs, joint-stock companies, and foreign branches operating in Kuwait. For CMA-regulated and CBK-regulated entities, we also manage quarterly audit engagements and keep your reporting calendar on track.
Our approach is thorough, risk-focused, and aligned with international auditing standards, ensuring accuracy, transparency and full regulatory compliance. We work closely with your finance team to identify potential issues early, provide actionable insights, and strengthen internal controls, helping your organisation build trust with stakeholders and make informed business decisions.
Our independent assurance reports give boards, management, and external stakeholders an objective view of how your business performs against its own compliance, risk, and statutory standards. Issued as part of our internal audit service, they are structured to support informed decision-making at every level.
We tailor each assurance engagement to your organization's specific risk profile and operational environment, focusing on key processes, controls, and governance frameworks. Our insights go beyond reporting findings - we provide practical recommendations to enhance efficiency, mitigate risks, and strengthen overall accountability across your business.
Internal Control Report (ICR)
An ICR gives you a structured, written assessment of whether your internal controls are actually doing what they are supposed to do. We evaluate your control environment - testing for gaps in your operational, reporting and compliance controls.
Internal Audit - Outsourcing & Co-sourcing
Running an internal audit team in-house is not always practical. We offer two models; full outsourcing, where Alkhuzam acts as your entire internal audit function, and co-sourcing, where we work alongside your existing team to cover specific risk areas or periods of high demand. Both models focus on the areas that create the most exposure - operations, internal controls and risk management.
Risk Management
Risk that is not identified is risk that is not managed. We work with your team to map your risk landscape, assess the likelihood and business impact of key threats, and build practical mitigation strategies that protect your operations without adding unnecessary complexity.
Agreed-upon Procedures (customized)
When a full audit is not required, agreed-upon procedures deliver targeted evidence. You define the scope, we perform the tests, and we report the factual findings — nothing more, nothing less.
