The Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority is an independent government body operating under the direct authority of the Ruler of Abu Dhabi. Based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, it oversees financial and operational accountability across the emirate’s public sector, conducting audits, financial reviews, and compliance assessments of government ministries, state-owned enterprises, and other entities receiving public funds. Its mandate emphasizes transparency, integrity, and efficiency, aiming to prevent fraud and promote ethical governance standards within Abu Dhabi’s financial and administrative systems. The authority functions as a mid-sized government agency that supports Abu Dhabi’s public institutions in meeting governance standards and maintaining public trust in line with international best practices. In late 2024, ADAA partnered with the Department of Government Enablement to launch a Community of Practice for internal auditors within entities under its mandate.
