International Standards
Al-Baghdadi added:
“The 10-day course, held from April 17 to April 27, includes 30 participants from various departments, including Finance, Auditing, Investment, and the Faydh al-Qaseem Company. Specialized instructors from the Association of Accountants and Auditors were invited to provide comprehensive insights into international standards and their implementation, fostering a deeper understanding and preparing the ground for future application.”
Objectives of the Course
He emphasized:
“The primary objective is to solidify the Holy Shrine’s position as a leading institution in adopting global best practices. This is achieved through the development of financial and administrative systems while increasing levels of transparency and operational efficiency.”
Future Outlook
