DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - EQS Newsroom - 22 January 2025 - COFICERT announces the renewal of the University of Dubai's MSI 20000 certification for a second consecutive cycle, marking its continuous compliance with the standard requirements.
Late 2020, the University of Dubai undertook an in-depth assessment of its financial governance in accordance with the MSI 20000 Standard, to become the first educational institution in the region to obtain this international certification. The certificate was awarded by the French certification body COFICERT, with the technical support of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global (TAG. Global), a technical partner for the MSI 20000 certificate in the Middle East.
At the end of the first 3-year certification cycle, under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Eesa Mohammed Al Bastaki, UD has entered a second certification cycle, once again demonstrating its continuous compliance with international financial quality standards, which reflects both the strength and stability of UD, as well as its financial performance and sustained growth over the past few years. Leveraging the MSI 20000 expertise and the renewal of its certification cycle, UD is once more engaging in a process of continuous improvement and refinement of its financial governance through regular evaluation diagnostics, which serve as essential internal management tools.
