From The President

Dear Readers,
Let me take this opportunity to appraise you of few important events which have taken
place at the association. At the recently concluded annual general meeting we had the
elections for the association and a new board was elected. We do have some board
members who got re-elected and a few new faces. I would like to welcome them on
board. Together we aim to take our association to greater heights. At our first meeting,
we have broadly discussed the way forward. Our new board members are:
Name Position
Abdulqader Obaid Ali President
Khalid Al Halyan Vice President
Dana Al Yazeedi Board Secretary
Dr. Hanan Almarzooqi Treasurer
Ali Al Muwaijei BOG Member
Ayesha Bin Lootah BOG Member
Ayyoub Abdulla Al Marzouqi BOG Member
Mohamed Al Harthi BOG Member
Naeima Mohammed Al Menhali BOG Member
Our recently concluded 19th Annual Regional Audit Conference was held in April in
Abu Dhabi and was well attended by our members and delegates from the Middle-East.
We were pleased that the Chairman of the IIA Global Board, Naohiro Mouri attended
our conference and graced the occasion. Moving forward, we are now planning for our
8th Chief Audit Executive Conference which will be held in Dubai from November 20-
21. More details will be made available in near future.
Some of our board members were at the recently concluded IIA’s 2019 International
Conference in California and it brings back memories of the 2018 Internal Conference
held in Dubai; which was a record breaking event in so many aspects. I reach out to
you recommend to us the topics on which you would like to hear about during our
conferences or member’s meeting. If you are aware of good speakers, please forward
their details to the association on and we will certainly look into it. Your involvement
will make our events that much more successful and engaging.

We are going to re-energize our subgroups and look forward to professionals and
volunteers to drive this important initiative for the association. If you are interested to be
part of our Subgroups please contact us on info@uaeiaa.org..

Abdulqader Obaid Ali
President
