Yet another glass ceiling was shattered by a Saudi woman. Kholoud Mousa, the first Saudi woman licensed to practice as a certified public accountant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a member of SOCPA (Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accountants), has been appointed as a partner in KPMG’s Jeddah office. She is the first Saudi women to hold such a position, and as such serves to open the way for other Saudi women to follow.
Mousa has a wealth of experience in her field, including the areas of auditing and tax issues. She is a strong supporter of the women’s empowerment strategy, and promotes the profession of audit and financial advisory for both male and female Saudi University graduates.
