What You’ll Need for Your Meydan Audit
To keep your Meydan audit moving quickly, have the following ready:
- Meydan trade licence
- Memorandum & Articles of Association
- Trial balance and general ledger
- Bank statements for the full financial year
- Sales and purchase invoices (including e-commerce/marketplace payout records where relevant)
- VAT records (if VAT-registered)
- Payroll records
- Fixed asset register
- Previous year’s audit report (if available)
When Your Meydan Audit is Due
Meydan requires audited financial statements as part of your annual licence renewal, generally within 90 to 180 days of your financial year end depending on your specific licence terms — check your own licence anniversary rather than assuming a fixed date applies to every company.
If your submission is late, Meydan has in some cases allowed a short additional filing window — but this shouldn’t be relied on as a routine buffer, since renewal can otherwise be delayed while you’re non-compliant.
Because the audit is checked at renewal, starting early protects your renewal date even if your bookkeeping isn’t fully up to date yet.
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Filing window | Generally 90–180 days from financial year end |
| Checked at | Annual trade licence renewal |
| If late | A short additional filing window may apply — confirm with Meydan |
| Recommendation | Confirm your exact deadline against your own licence |
What Happens If You Miss the Deadline
Meydan sets and updates these penalties itself — confirm current fine amounts with Meydan or your auditor before relying on any figure you see quoted online.
Late or missing audits can trigger fines that add up the longer they stay unresolved.
Renewal can be held up until a valid audit is submitted.
A delayed renewal can affect banking, visas, and day-to-day operations.
