DUBAI, March 5, 2026 (WAM) -- The Dubai Financial Audit Authority has organized roundtable meetings with representatives from the entities under its supervision. These meetings are part of efforts to strengthen corporate dialogue aimed at supporting these entities and helping their employees address practical challenges faced in the workplace. The purpose of the meetings is to provide a platform for open and direct dialogue that allows participants to highlight the challenges they encounter in various work areas and share real-world experiences from a practical perspective. This contributes to a deeper understanding of the nature of these challenges and their impact on corporate performance. The roundtable discussions have focused on key themes reflecting the diverse nature and recurring challenges of the audited entities. These themes include: Challenges in Implementing the Corporate Governance Guidelines for Public Institutions in Dubai; Best Practices in the Investment Process; Drivers, Challenges, and Controls of Digital Transformation; Risks Related to Construction Project Demands and the Project Tender Process; Internal Controls on Revenue Collection; Human Resources: Addressing Recurring Issues; Reporting Mechanisms to Ensure Transparency and Accountability; Conducting Effective Fraud Investigations; Leasing Activities; Supply Chain Disruptions; and Challenges in the Implementation of Specific Rules and Regulations. The meetings also aimed to provide participants with the opportunity to present practical solutions and recommendations based on field experiences, thereby transforming dialogue into actionable outcomes that support improved practices and enhanced corporate efficiency. Furthermore, the meetings promoted the consistent application of systems and regulations by strengthening coordination and integration among the audited entities, thereby reinforcing governance and accountability, and supporting corporate stability and sustainable outcomes. Abdulrahman Al Hareb, Director General of the Dubai Financial Audit Authority, stated, “The roundtable meetings are part of a corporate approach adopted by the Financial Audit Authority. This approach aims to strengthen effective partnerships with the entities under its supervision and to reinforce dialogue based on a shared understanding of practical challenges and ways to address them within approved regulatory and legislative frameworks. We believe that the development of the audit system cannot be carried out in isolation from real-world applications; rather, it is essential to listen directly to on-the-ground experiences and transform them into practical, actionable solutions that enhance the quality of corporate performance.” Al Hareb added, “The most effective solutions arise from the active participation of employees as partners in development. This participation contributes to harmonizing audit practices, increasing compliance levels, and enhancing the management efficiency of public resources. Through these meetings, the Authority reiterates its commitment to supporting the entities under its supervision and enabling them to effectively address challenges, aiming to achieve a sustainable corporate impact in line with the expectations of the Dubai Government by instilling the principles of governance, accountability, and transparency.” These meetings are part of the vision of the Dubai Financial Audit Authority to support the audited entities, effectively address challenges, and create a working environment based on the foundations of transparency, collaboration, and sustainable corporate impact.
