Historically the celebration of motherhood in the Middle East region has its roots in the era of Egyptian Pharaohs where Isis, an ancient Pharaonic queen, was the symbol of motherhood. Ancient Egyptians celebrated mothers by filling boats with flowers that floated around the city to honour the struggles and successes of motherhood. Greek and Egyptian civilisations marked the beginning of spring to honour the celebration of motherhood, resulting in March 21st being recognised as Mother’s Day in the Arab region. - A mother’s hope keeps a child’s self-belief afloat. - A mother’s sacrifice scripts her child’s greatest success story. - A mother’s faith is a force to reckon with beyond the realm of logic & reason. - A mother’s love wields the power to heal broken spirits. This Mother’s Day celebrating the spirit of motherhood and the healing touch of maternal instinct. The world is a better place to live in because mothers make it so. #uhyjames #uhyinternational #uhy #MothersDay #HappyMothersDay #MomLove #Motherhood #Family #Gratitude #LoveAndAppreciation #SuperMom #ThankYouMom

Holi - the festival of colours symbolises - the onset of spring and historically reinforces the triumph of good over evil. Legend has it that Holi celebrations began to commemorate the victory of Lord Narasimha over the demon Hiranyakashyap. Holi celebrations include families welcoming the abundance of the spring season - as nature flourishes into bloom. Friends and families celebrate Holi with colours and splash water balloons on each other, cook seasonal delicacies and enjoy singing and dancing together. Celebrating Holi after the chilly winter months is reminder of how bleak seasons are always followed by vibrant colours of joy, hope, warmth & love. This Holi season we wish you bright hues of positivity and the warm glow of peace in your personal and professional endeavours. Happy Holi! #uhyjames #uhyinternational #holi #happyholi #festivalsofindia

As businesses evolve and expand, they typically face heightened compliance expectations, operational complexity and exposure to risk. To this end, it is important to establish optimal business processes and enhance efficiency of operations by doing a preliminary quick turnaround (3 to 4 days per function) diagnostic review of “pain areas” & other business areas. Typically, quick turnaround diagnostic review involves high-level walk-throughs of relevant processes across business functions and at the governance level, as well as discussions with stakeholders concerned, along with key data analyses, as applicable. Our team of experts can handhold businesses in the areas of internal controls design and its operating effectiveness as well as the improvement of key business processes. Leveraging an established methodology, we identify key gaps against leading practices and support the management in developing remediation plans, providing basis for further control development. To support management’s monitoring of internal control effectiveness, we perform control testing covering design, implementation, and operating effectiveness testing. Our team further adds value by providing insight and recommendations on the control design and developing testing strategies that support the ongoing development of internal controls across business functions and at governance level. Conducting a diagnostic review, will benefit the organization in: - Identifying potential cost savings/revenue improvements - Being able to benchmark against industry best practices - Having a ready diagnostic dashboard showing areas needing attention, classified by severity - Having a health-check done on the status of internal controls within the organization - Providing confidence to stakeholders on the overall health of organizations processes - Providing tailor-made cost-efficient solutions for small, medium organization and start-up businesses.

At UHY James, celebrations are a way of life and business. We truly believe celebration fuels growth - be it celebrating milestones achieved or the people who are the driving force behind the milestones. This #WomensDay our team joined forces to not only celebrate the women at UHY James - but also pause, reflect, and celebrate the women in the lives of the men working in UHY James. Our ladies dressed to the nines in shades of white & pastels and had a lovely time bonding over getting clicked at the photo booth. To make the event more meaningful and memorable, interesting questions about women and their significance in our lives were discussed. The women of our team shared about multitasking diverse responsibilities being one of the constant challenges they rise to meet and most of the men acknowledged & appreciated the role their mothers & partners played in adding value to their lives. As a token of appreciation, each woman of our team was gifted a beautiful thriving plant to serve as a constant reminder that: For a plant to bloom & blossom - its environment is of paramount importance & the same holds true for a woman's #growth & #progress. Last but not the least, the grass will always be greener where you water it. Cheering loud and proud for women & their uninhibited success always! #uhyjames #uhyinternational #uhy #internationalwomensday #womensday2025 #womenatwork #uaebusiness

International Women’s Day has been observed since the early 1900s and it was honoured for the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March, 1911. Women’s Day celebrations began with the need for women to voice their ideologies on voting rights, better wages and working conditions. Even today women’s day is celebrated globally on March 8th to raise awareness and kickstart conversations on issues that matter to the overall well-being of women. This Women’s Day we celebrate the sass & spirit of womanhood and all the magic it creates in the world we live in! Happy Women’s Day 2025. #uhyjames #uhy #uhyinternational #womenatwork #womensday #womensday2025 #accelerateaction #uaebusiness
