“Our experience with HASAAD has been very positive as it provided our fresh graduates with a structured and comprehensive foundational knowledge of the internal audit discipline. We are privileged to take part in the newly launched program and would certainly consider it again as a key development tool for our fresh UAE national graduates. Special thanks to the UAE IAA and the HCT for making the program a reality.”

Madian Al-Hajji
Vice President, Internal Audit – Mubadala

I am a fresh graduate from the university with Accounting degree. I joined IA team in January 2015 and I joined the first batch of HASAAD program in March 2015. In my first three months in Mubadala, I learnt many IA vocabulary, IA procedures, and IA goals in the organization, but everything was on a separate sheet for me, not until I joined HASAAD program which helped me to connect all the information in one solid page, it added over the expectation value to all of my aspects, and it prepared me to start and complete my engagements per the best practices. I will defiantly recommend HASAAD program for everyone joining the IA family.

HASSAD program was very inspirational, energising, bringing lots of ideas, with both substantial and in-depth knowledge together with case studies, learning from experience and being theory and practice oriented. The program was well-balanced composition of participants, which contributed to interesting and focused discussions and exchanges. Coming from an engineering background the program assisted me a lot in getting clear picture about what auditing is and why it is important.
