"Turnover" refers to the total revenue a company generates during its financial year from its core business activities, such as selling goods or providing services. It is a key financial metric often required in annual filing forms for compliance or classification purposes.
Under the relevant AIFC Legal Entities framework, AIFC Participants are required to appoint an auditor registered with the Registrar to audit their accounts if their annual turnover exceeds the specified threshold.
