Testimonials!!!

At the outset, we at Dubai Holding IA would like to thank you and your wonderful IAA UAE team for organizing such an exciting full day event. It was a day to meet and connect with fellow audit professionals in the UAE across various industries, both in the private and government sector, in a safe and friendly environment. The event was immensely useful in terms of knowledge sharing, learning, engagement and development. The topics discussed during the event were current and relevant and the sessions conducted by the experienced speakers and group discussions were extremely engaging and beneficial to me and my team. Needless to say, the IA team at Dubai Holding greatly benefited from the event, especially since every event went online for more than 18 months as a result of the pandemic. We look forward to more IAA UAE collaborative events and seminars in future.
