What about the details of invoices, do they usually check proof of work? I'm asking because crypto is quite a grey area, and it can be problematic even if someone is doing a legitimate business.

The Financial Statement may not be a problem, but I'm afraid things can scale, from an audit to scrutiny, require a license, hella compliance e.g. not just KYC but also the source of funds of your clients (very invasive to be done), etc

The audit is indeed often a misunderstood service.
Auditors are incentivised to maintain good client relationships and boost confidence for shareholders and other users of company accounts. That's what you are actually paying for.

lol, facts: EY has warned of going concern risks for just 20% of collapsed firms (in the UK)

Audit of accounts is mandatory for Free zone companies (FZCO) and Free Zone establishments (FZE) but for some local or foreign companies, it may not be mandatory.
The commercial companies law states that the audit of accounts is mandatory for mainland companies. Every company must appoint an auditor to auditor for auditing their books of accounts authorized and licensed auditor, but many companies are not mandated to follow the requirements.

322. Ministerial Decision No. 82 of 2023 does not alter current obligations under the domestic legislation to prepare audited Financial Statements, but rather confirms such obligation solely for the purpose of the application of the Corporate Tax Law.
