Artificial Intelligence-Powered Platform Al Mersad Enhances Auditing Process in the UAE

ABU DHABI – In a groundbreaking development, the Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority has collaborated with Presight.ai, a G42 firm, to develop Al Mersad, an artificial intelligence-powered platform that aims to revolutionize the audit sector in the UAE. This platform harnesses the power of AI and big data analytics to enhance the speed and accuracy of auditing processes, reinforce governance, and ensure the security of public assets.

Mahmoud Al Alawi, the executive director of the corporate support sector at the Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority, expressed his gratitude to the Emirati team for their dedication in creating this cutting-edge platform. Al Mersad is designed as an integrated data system auditing platform that utilizes precise anomaly detection capabilities and risk assessment mechanisms based on intricate data pattern recognition to streamline typically tedious and data-heavy tasks like audits.

Through meticulous research and rigorous testing, Al Mersad aims to elevate the standard of auditing in the emirate, safeguard public funds, and ensure their judicious use for future generations. Wael Abdulqader Mahmoud, interim general director of monitoring and audit at the authority, highlighted the platform’s goal of simplifying the identification of financial anomalies and offering an advanced governmental analysis tool. With the integration of AI and expert insights, the platform significantly enhances the speed and accuracy of the auditing process.

“This platform grants our auditors easy access to financial data across all relevant entities. Furthermore, it underscores its commitment to transparency, trust in governmental activities, and safeguarding public finances,” Mahmoud stated.

Al Mersad is one of the two innovative platforms unveiled by the Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority at the recent Gitex Global 2023 event. The other platform, ADAAi, is an internal platform comprising a secure dashboard that provides accurate and real-time data to the authority’s senior management and executives for making proactive decisions. The ADAAi dashboard automates institutional processes and supports the monitoring of employees’ tasks, enabling effective management of operations and ensuring the achievement of the authority’s goals.

The introduction of Al Mersad and ADAAi demonstrates the authority’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance its operations, improve transparency, and ultimately benefit the people of the UAE.
