Our Vision
To be recognized as the leading provider of support services within the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, Labour and Immigration (MCILI).

Administration and Accounts Division

The Administration and Accounts Division is committed to delivering vibrant, effective, and efficient support services to the Ministry’s technical divisions, enabling them to successfully implement their planned activities.

To enhance productivity, we ensure the provision of appropriate technologies that streamline operations across all divisions. In fulfilling our mandated responsibilities, we strive to maintain a customer-friendly environment that supports both internal and external stakeholders.

We are dedicated to recruiting the right number of qualified personnel for the Ministry—including within our own division—and to ensuring their well-being and professional development.

While financial constraints may arise, we will closely monitor expenditures to ensure alignment with the Ministry’s annual budget allocations. As a service arm of the government, we uphold the principle that the government’s priorities take precedence over all other interests within the Ministry.
