The Department of Government Enablement – Abu Dhabi (DGE) has launched the Government Financial Capability Program in collaboration with the Department of Finance - Abu Dhabi. The comprehensive programme has been developed with the aim of strengthening the skills, knowledge and expertise of financial professionals working within Abu Dhabi government entities.

The programme aligns with the Abu Dhabi government’s professional financial competencies framework and caters to four professional levels, including employees in supervisory and leadership positions such as executive directors and directors of corporate services, managers and directors of finance functions, finance professionals, as well as new joiners. This high-level programme empowers participants to acquire core financial, digital and business skills, enabling them to deliver measurable impacts in their respective roles and hone their leadership skills.

The programme offers an learning journey with a diverse range of components including face-to-face training, global leadership insights, virtual masterclasses, case studies, workshops, simulations and capstone projects. Upon completion, participants will acquire proficiency in 11 core competencies including planning and forecasting, financial due diligence, procurement processes, financial reporting, fund management, cost accounting and management, financial IMS, governance, risk and control, corporate finance and treasury management, performance management, and compliance. Top performers will have the opportunity to pursue technical and financial certifications, such as Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).
