The National Bank of Fujairah's audit department was awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certification in July for establishing an effective system for ensuring a high standard of consistency and quality in the auditing of the bank's activities.

ISO Accreditation ensures Internal Audit's ability to consistently provide services that meet the bank's internal customer needs and conform to applicable statutory, regulatory and industry requirements.

The NBF Audit team comprises six Operational Auditors and three IT Auditors.
