CFEBig Four Alumni16+ Years GCC

I established the UAE Federal Anti-Fraud Guidelines in 2018 — the framework that became the national standard and is still in operation today. I have led investigations across manufacturing, real estate, banking and family offices — involving hundreds of millions of dollars and proceedings in multiple jurisdictions. The frameworks I built for the KSA Ministry of Finance are still in operation.

Goodwork exists to make that level of expertise available directly — without the overhead, the delays, or the junior teams that characterise larger firms. Every engagement I take on is one I lead personally.
