The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), along with the UAE Internal Auditors Association (UAE-IAA), will hold the high profile international conference for the first time in the MENA region with the theme “Connecting the World Through Innovation,” at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from\u00a0May 6 to 9, 2018, featuring more than 100 global speakers in over 70 sessions and more than 3,000 professionals from 110 countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe support the IIA conference as it will act as a catalyst for the UAE economy to transform to a \u2018smart economy\u2019 with the internal audit professionals being enabled to adapt global best practices to make businesses here world-class, attracting investments,\u201d said His Excellency Eng. Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori, UAE\u2019s Minister of Economy, who will be heading a discussion panel \u201cGlobal Issues Impacting Business\u201d on May 7, the first day of the IIA Conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cAuditing is playing a vital role in the success of organisations across the UAE, especially as the economy strides toward transforming to a \u2018smart economy\u2019.<\/p>\n
The UAE has always been on the forefront in adopting the latest and best technology, policies and processes in every area and now we see it is actively pursuing its move to stay 10 times ahead of others. This brings in bigger challenges for auditors and today\u2019s gathering of top leaders and chief executives in this field presents a strong platform to discuss these challenges and lay out a strategic roadmap to prepare for the next-gen auditing,\u201d H.E. said.<\/p>\n
Talking about the advantages the local internal audit fraternity will gain, H.E. said: \u201cIt\u2019s an educational journey for the audit professionals in Dubai as they will become rich with insights from the leading professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n
UAE-IAA Chairman\u00a0Abdulqader Obaid Ali said: “The UAE is very proud to host this conference, the first of its kind in the MENA region, which we worked on from 2010. We are honoured to hold such a prestigious and anticipated event. It will surely be a programme that delves into timely issues impacting the profession, rich with insights for internal auditors at every level. The IIA’s International Conference showcases the best and brightest in the profession and provides participants with insights, tips, and guidance from an array of thought leaders and industry experts from leading corporations, organizations, and government institutions.”<\/p>\n
