  • Frequently Asked Questions
  • What does a DFSA Finance Officer do?

    A DFSA Finance Officer oversees financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and prudential monitoring, working closely with the SEO, CO, MLRO, and Board of Directors.

    Do I need an outsourced Finance Officer if I already have an internal finance team?

    Not necessarily — many firms use outsourced Finance Officer services alongside an internal team for specialist DFSA regulatory expertise and independent oversight.

    What is the Electronic Prudential Reporting System (EPRS)?

    EPRS is the DFSA’s system for submitting regulatory returns, including prudential and capital adequacy reporting.

    How does this differ from standard accounting or bookkeeping services?

    Beyond day-to-day accounting, this service includes DFSA regulatory compliance, capital adequacy monitoring, and Board-level financial governance.

    Can Kaynat Advisory support us during a DFSA inspection?
    Yes. We provide regulatory support and documentation preparation during DFSA inspections and reviews.
