Doha: Qatar National Bank (QNB), the largest financial institution in Qatar and the Mena region, has announced its Platinum sponsorship of the third National Conference on Internal Auditing 2013 to be held at the College of the North Atlantic Qatar from May 18 to 20.
The event will be held under the patronage of the Chairman of the Administrative Control and Transparency Authority H E Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah. This year’s conference theme is “The value of an effective Internal Auditing Function”.
The event will showcase a series of seminars and workshops with a particular focus on how the internal audit function can add value to any organisation. Meanwhile, the conference will also examine how both individuals and organisations can effectively deal with the multiple present day challenges such as the onset of intense competition, advancing technology, regulatory complexities, changing business dynamics and increasing expectations of stakeholders.
The workshops and seminars are all in line with the requirements to assist in the realisation of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and more specifically, to building a knowledge based society.
“QNB has always been a supporter of the National Vision, and continues to ensure that the bank’s values, mission and vision draw parallels to the country’s longer term aims,” a press release said yesterday.
In addition, QNB highlighted that the National Conference on Internal Auditing 2013 presents an excellent opportunity for Audit, IT, Governance, Compliance, Risk Management, Forensic and Accounting professionals in Qatar and the region to interact and network with global leaders in the same profession.
“QNB has always been committed to sponsoring events such as this one as this demonstrates the Bank’s unwavering support, but also shows that sponsorship is key in order to economically contribute to and enhance the communities that QNB operates in,” the release added.
