We help developers demonstrate responsible financial management, protect purchaser interests, and maintain confidence among regulators, investors, and stakeholders.
What Is a RERA Escrow Account Audit?
A RERA Escrow Account Audit is an independent examination of a real estate project’s escrow account activities to verify that funds collected from property buyers are managed and utilised in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Under UAE real estate regulations, developers are required to maintain dedicated escrow accounts for off-plan projects to ensure that buyer payments are used specifically for approved project development activities.
A RERA escrow audit provides assurance that:
Escrow funds are properly recorded and tracked
Project expenses are supported by valid documentation
Withdrawals comply with approved purposes
Financial reporting requirements are fulfilled
Regulatory obligations are being met
