As part of its continuous efforts to improve its governmental operations and raise the level employee performance within all Federal Government entities; the Ministry of Finance (MoF) recently issued for the first time a federal government e-book manual for financial procedures for the year 2012. The effort falls in line with MoF’s belief in the importance of switching to efficient electronic systems that aim to simplify work procedures and its support of UAE institutional progress and development.
The new manual aims to provide a comprehensive guide for all procedures pertaining to monetary interactions used by the UAE’s different ministries. MoF’s strategy has been focused on adopting the highest international standards for managing financial resources for the UAE’s government to achieve sustainable growth and development for the nation.
Commenting on the release of the new manual, HE Mariam Mohammad Al Amiri, Assistant Undersecretary for the Management of Financial Resources said: “The release of the new manual incorporating all the procedures regarding monetary interactions used in the UAE’s ministries reflects the efforts undertaken by the Ministry of Finance’s employees to continuously enhance operations of the UAE’s federal activities.”
“The manual includes all the forms, policies and legal tools used by the UAE’s different ministries and which are adopted by their respective accounting departments, and allows users to retrieve this information easily,” HE Al Amiri added.
Through its overall strategy, MoF aims to continue its support efforts for the creation of a state-of-the-art, advanced e-government which utilizes the latest technologies in the field of finance and administration to enhance decision-making processes.
