RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire –The prestigious IMA Middle East Annual Conference was successfully hosted in Riyadh on November 4, shining a light on Vision 2030’s transformative potential for the future of finance in the region. Financial experts, leaders, and innovators all gathered to discuss strategic thinking, AI, leadership, sustainable finance, and ESG.

Ahmad Mkhallati, Senior Director of IMA Middle East, India & Africa Operations, illuminated this vision, saying, “Vision 2030 isn’t just our roadmap; it’s our beacon towards a redefined financial landscape. We’re not just planning for tomorrow; we’re architecting a new era where accounting and finance lead as pillars of innovation and sustainability.”

Central to the event was the unveiling of IMA’s new office in KSA, a strategic move that underscores the commitment to nurturing and serving the accounting and finance profession in the region. This expansion is set to play a crucial role in aligning local practices with global standards, further enhancing the region’s influence in the global financial arena.

Vision 2030 has set a new course for the future of the accounting and finance profession in Saudi Arabia. This event signals the transformation of traditional accounting jobs and roles, becoming integral in shaping sustainable, ethical business practices. This moment marks a pivotal shift, reimagining the profession to drive not only economic growth, but also sustainable development in the region.

In line with this strategic vision, a significant emphasis is being placed on upskilling and reskilling programs to prepare professionals for upcoming challenges.

Our collective efforts, as showcased in this conference, are pivotal in cementing the Middle East as a vanguard in global finance.”

The conference’s success would not have been possible without the support of its strategic sponsors, SOCPA and Aramco, and platinum sponsors including Pepsico, PwC’s Academy, Morgan International, Gleim CMA Review, Hock International and the various local IMA chapters.

Information on EQT AB’s financial reporting

The EQT AB Group has a long-term business model founded on a promise to its fund investors to invest capital, drive value creation and create consistent attractive returns over a 5 to 10-year horizon. The Group’s financial model is primarily affected by the size of its fee-generating assets under management, the performance of the EQT funds and its ability to recruit and retain top talent.

The Group operates in a market driven by long-term trends and thus believes quarterly financial statements are less relevant for investors. However, in order to provide the market with relevant and suitable information about the Group’s development, EQT publishes quarterly announcements with key operating numbers that are relevant for the business performance (taking Nasdaq’s guidance note for preparing interim management statements into consideration). In addition, a half-year report and a year-end report including financial statements and further information relevant for investors is published. Finally, EQT also publishes an annual report including sustainability reporting.
