8 ALRAQABA . ISSUE 18 SAB Holds Digital Transformation Symposium The State Audit Bureau (SAB) held a technical symposium on “Digital Transformation” that took place during the period from March 29 – 30, 2022. The Symposium was attended by Mr. Adel AlSarawi, Vice President of SAB, and was delivered by Dr. Abdulla AlMutawa, Faculty Member at The College of Engineering and Petroleum at Kuwait University. The Symposium targeted important topics such as the ultimate utilization of the applications of Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in addition to the implementation of up-to-date work methods that would lead to saving time and effort. Leading such an approach would contribute to efficient data analysis that would support decision-making and the establishment of the principles of governance. Not only that, but also the expedient and accurate achievement of work procedures, minimization of error, analysis of big data with high speed to support decision making, and realizing professional satisfaction for the SAB Staff, all can be accomplished by taking such a direction. The Symposium also tackled the implications of Digital Transformation, which includes the SAB Website that represents the organization’s online reference and interface. The SAB Website serves as an integrated electronic system as it incorporates a Task Management System, Human Resource Management System (HRMS), and a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System that serves both the SAB Staff and the external entities that SAB works with. In addition, the Website also incorporates Financial Transactions and Storerooms Management Systems, Financial Data Analysis Software, InventoryManagement System, and an Electronic Filing system. The Symposium also included discussions on the impediments and difficulties that faced Digital Transformation in the experiences of other organizations. The discussions concluded that the key to achieving Digital Transformation is summed up in a number of elements, mainly, the conviction of the SAB leadership and chief staff in the importance and benefits of Digital Transformation, the presence of simplified administrative digital systems that would ease the access to Digital Transformation, and finally the formation of a team specialized in Digital Transformation with diverse expertise.
