Abdullah Al Jawi, Director of Internal Audit, Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), stated that internal audit was no longer viewed as an inspection and monitoring tool as was the case before, but rather a transparent and smooth process that contributes to improvement and enhancement of performance and business procedures. It is also considered as the “other eye” that helps agencies and departments identify the potentials of improvement, challenges and risks associated with the drive to upgrade performance and services.
“Our work in Internal Audit Department, Office of H.E. the Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the RTA, is aligned with RTA vision in adopting a neutral & distinctive approach to improve and upgrade the performance and accordingly contribute to realizing the vision of providing safe & smooth transport for all,” said Al Jawi.
