His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, in his capacity as Chairman of the Financial Audit Authority, has enacted Decision No. 4 of 2025. This decision delineates the operational protocols for the Central Violations Committee and the Grievances Committee within the Financial Audit Authority.
The updated procedures are applicable to senior officials and employees of entities under the Authority’s supervision. They are designed to ensure that disciplinary measures are equitable, transparent, and commensurate with the nature of the offence, while simultaneously safeguarding the rights of employees.
Under the new guidelines, employees are entitled to lodge an appeal within 15 working days. All proceedings of the committees are mandated to remain confidential. Furthermore, both the employee and the concerned entity are obliged to adhere to the rulings issued by the committees.
This initiative aims to bolster accountability, protect public funds, and foster fairness and stability within the workplace.
