Why Choose IKTVA Management and Compliance Training Course?

The In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) initiative plays an important role in strengthening Saudi Arabia’s industrial capabilities, developing national talent and increasing the economic value retained within the Kingdom.

It equips participants with the tools needed to analyse local expenditure, develop Saudi suppliers, integrate localisation requirements into tenders and contracts, monitor performance and improve organisational IKTVA results. Participants will also learn how to strengthen data quality, manage compliance risks and establish a sustainable roadmap for increasing In-Kingdom value.
