Prospective member in the UAE

Nick Blake visited the United Arab Emirates at the beginning of April and met with four accounting firms that had expressed interest in joining AGN following the departure of the MAK organisation.

After detailed discussions with these firms, one was invited to submit an application form, which has now been received and has been sent onto the International Board of Directors seeking approval to move to the next stage of the admission process, namely a pre-admission peer review, which has now been approved.

This firm currently has offices in three Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah) and is planning to open a further two by the end of the year. It is currently part of another larger international organisation and upon appointment by AGN as its member in the UAE will be leaving that organisation. It provides a full range of accounting services including audit as well as providing a forensic accounting/expert witness resource and is in the process of starting up an arbitration service. It has already provided services to current AGN member firms clients and the feedback from those clients has been very positive indeed.

Details of this firm can be obtained from the Regional Secretariat.

In addition, another application form has been received from a substantial consulting operation in the UAE; this is currently being considered and hopefully passed onto the International Board for approval for a pre-admission peer review to be undertaken.
