UAE and Indonesia sign MoU to strengthen bilateral cooperation

The UAE Accountability Authority and the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation in the areas of safeguarding public resources and promoting effective governance principles.

The MoU was signed at the headquarters of the UAE Accountability Authority in Abu Dhabi during a meeting between Humaid Obaid Abushibs, Chairman of the UAE Accountability Authority, and Dr Isma Yatun, Chairwoman of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia. This agreement comes within the framework of enhancing oversight relations between the two countries.

The MoU covers a variety of cooperation areas, including the exchange of specialised knowledge, sharing of best practices in auditing, accounting, and oversight of public resources. It also enables mutual benefit from training programmes and capacity-building initiatives, as well as coordination in participation at relevant events and conferences.

The MoU also affirms both countries’ commitment to advancing governance standards in vital sectors, contributing to sustainable development and enhancing global economic security and stability.

Meanwhile in April 2025 the UAE Accountability Authority (UAEAA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, in conjunction with the official visit of Igor Krasnov, Prosecutor-General of the Russian Federation, to the UAE.

The MoU aims to strengthen frameworks for bilateral cooperation in areas that support the strategic partnership between the two countries.

The agreement was signed by Humaid Obaid Abushibs, President of the UAE Accountability Authority, and Igor Krasnov, at the authority’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi.

The MoU is focused on integrity and anti-corruption efforts, and seeks to advance bilateral cooperation, exchange expertise, develop institutional capacities, and expand the scope of partnership within international forums to promote a global culture of transparency and accountability.

According to the UAE Accountability Authority, this step aligns with the UAE’s strategic directions and reflects the vision of its leadership, which places transparency and anti-corruption at the core of its governance approach. The authority also noted the importance of learning from international best practices, including Russia’s experience in this field.

In March 2025 the UAE Accountability Authority (UAEAA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, as part of its efforts to strengthen international cooperation in combating corruption and enhancing governance and transparency systems.

According to a press release issued today, the memorandum was signed during an official visit to the UAEAA’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi, where Humaid Obaid Abushibs, Chairman of the UAE Accountability Authority, welcomed a delegation from the commission led by Danny Woo. Woo also toured the UAEAA’s training facilities and gained insights into its work. The MoU provided a robust framework for future joint efforts. By pooling together the two Authorities’ expertise and resources, the ICAC and UAEAA could amplify the impact in the global fight against corruption.
