Dubai , September 2, 2026 : Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has won the 3G
Excellence Award in Corporate Governance Practices 2026,
presented by Cambridge IFA, in recognition of its excellence in
applying global best practices in corporate governance and
embedding transparency principles, accountability and sustainability
across its operations and initiatives.
The achievement reinforces RTA’s leading position in adopting
advanced frameworks for governance, risk management and
internal control, supporting the achievement of its strategic
objectives, enhancing corporate performance, and elevating the
quality of services provided to customers and the community.
Faisal Al Taheri, Director of Internal Audit at RTA, said: “This award
reflects RTA’s continued commitment to advancing its corporate
governance framework in line with leading international standards
and practices. This includes fostering a culture of integrity and
transparency, strengthening the effectiveness of oversight, and
applying advanced approaches to risk management and
compliance, thereby ensuring sustainable performance and
delivering added value to stakeholders.”
Al Taheri added: “This recognition builds on RTA’s strong track
record in governance, oversight and internal audit. RTA has
previously achieved the highest assessment results for corporate
governance and the internal audit function among entities subject to
the oversight of Dubai’s Financial Audit Authority. This reflects the
level of corporate maturity RTA has attained and its ability to
implement integrated and effective governance models that support
its strategic direction.”
He stressed that winning the award provides further impetus for
RTA to continue advancing its corporate governance practices and
strengthening integration between governance, risk management,
compliance and internal audit. This supports sound corporate decision-making, improves resource efficiency, and reinforces stakeholder confidence.
The achievement reflects RTA’s commitment to continuing its
journey towards corporate excellence and reinforcing Dubai’s
position as a leading global model for effective government
administration, innovation and sustainability through the application
of governance best practices that contribute to realising the
emirate’s vision and future aspirations.
