The Dubai Financial Supervision Bureau has announced that its academy has received accreditation from the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) of the United States as an approved provider of continuing professional education (CPE) hours — a landmark achievement that reinforces the academy's standing as a specialised centre for professional development and lifelong learning in accordance with the highest international standards.
The accreditation comes within the framework of the bureau's ongoing commitment to investing in human capital and developing the professional capabilities of national and specialist cadres, through the provision of training and development programmes aligned with best practices and international standards, thereby contributing to enhanced institutional efficiency and preparing competencies to keep pace with rapidly evolving professional requirements.
This achievement reflects the academy's commitment to applying high global standards in the design and delivery of training and development programmes, ensuring the quality of academic content, the competence of trainers and experts, and the effectiveness of learning outcomes — cementing the academy's role as an advanced knowledge platform that supports the building of specialised professional capabilities in the fields of oversight, auditing, governance, and related sectors.
Under this accreditation, the academy is now authorised to grant internationally recognised CPE hours for all its training programmes, whether those dedicated to bureau staff or open programmes for participants from external entities, delivered either in person or virtually.
