In today's Member Spotlight, Marya Ahli shares how pursuing ACCA helped her build strong technical expertise while shaping her professional judgment and ethical foundation.
Now a Senior Manager in Audit at KPMG LG, her journey is marked by significant milestones, from leading complex engagements under tight deadlines to becoming the first Emirati ACCA at the firm, and the first Emirati female to progress through Assistant Manager, Manager, and Senior Manager roles within Audit Financial Services.
For Marya, success in today’s profession goes beyond technical knowledge. It requires data literacy, digital awareness, clear communication, adaptability, and the ability to translate complexity into practical insights.
Her advice is simple yet powerful: stay disciplined, focus on understanding over memorisation, apply your knowledge, and remain curious.
“Excellence is built through consistency, discipline, and doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.”
