Etisalat Academy has celebrated the graduation of the first batch of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) program participants. A graduation ceremony has honored financial managers, financial controllers and accountants who have successfully completed the four-month long program, conducted in collaboration with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
Commenting on the occasion, Etisalat Services Holding CEO Ali AlSharid, said:
"As a Fortune 500 company, Etisalat takes seriously the need to apply the world's best practices and for this reason IFRS has been adopted. Etisalat is heavily committed to having all financial staff understand and apply the standards through quality training, development and certification in IFRS. This is yet another step for Etisalat in the development of both the company and our great nation."
