A virus that quietly alters a file, an employee who edits their own salary record, a database entry that changes without anyone signing off on it — none of these look dramatic, but each one is a violation of data integrity. This course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy treats information security as, first and foremost, a question of integrity: making sure records and documents stay exactly as they should be, and that any change is traceable and authorized.

The course also covers a specific, high-stakes category of documentation: shipping documents and documentary credits, which protect both exporters and importers in foreign trade by guaranteeing that goods and payment change hands only when the paperwork is in order. Participants gain the archiving and verification skills needed to manage both digital records and trade documentation reliably.

By the End of the Program, Participants Will Be Able To:

• Recognize Information Security systems and how they are managed.
• Work with programs that support Information Security.
• Supervise the preparation of registration bonds, verify their validity, and approve them before recording in accounting books.
• Supervise and review documents issued by the Accounting Office in Islamic banks.
• Implement financial procedures set by senior management.
• Supervise the annual inventory and verify its authenticity.
