GOVERNANCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Our firm is subject to the stringent standards and requirements of the International Federation of Accountants (“IFAC”) and the International Standard on Quality Controls (ISQC 1). We have adopted a stringent Code of Ethics and Operating Procedural Manual across our Departments that are based on the principles and requirements of the IFAC Code of Ethics and ISQC1.

This objective is to establish and maintain a system of quality controls to provide our firm with comfort that professional standards, such as International Standards on Auditing, and laws and regulatory requirements are adhered to, and that reports issued by our firm and engagement partners are appropriate in the circumstances.

As much as policies, procedures, and work flow processes are critical to ensuring quality services, we also recognize that culture is equally important and we have emphasized time and time again the importance of promoting an internal culture of ethics and doing the right thing resulting in the development of a concise framework for dealing with conflict.

Further, we apply the latest technology, such as audit software tools, to increase the efficiency and provide the highest level of assurance and security. As all our services involve confidential and sensitive client financial and non-financial data, we strictly follow our compliance policies and adherence to global standards, including:

  • ISO 27001 – International Standard for Information Security
  • BCM (Business Continuity Measures) and Risk Management Policies
  • Anti-Money Laundering Procedures
  • Compliance with UAE Rules and Regulations
