Birzeit Consulting
Birzeit Consulting, based in Amman, Jordan, specialises in
internal control, financial management and anti-corruption.
Birzeit has a profound understanding of business in the Arab
world. Birzeit's personnel wed this understanding with their
direct experience in Western business environments to help
bridge the control gaps that can form when an international
company enters the Middle East or North Africa. Birzeit's
in-depth knowledge of global best practice, combined with
its long experience in the Arab world, make it an invaluable
Harmattan partner in work covering the MENA region.
Birzeit contributes not only area expertise, but supports
Harmattan insights into one critical piece of the risk
management equation: internal control and its adaptation to
new socio-political and cultural contexts.
