During this period, I worked in three organizations, out of which fourteen years were spent in “Oman International Exhibition Centre”, a government owned company which dealt with organizing exhibitions and events of different kinds. I was responsible for each and every aspect of finance and accounts. A brief description is as under:

About four years, I worked in a daily newspaper and two years in a real estate company. Which dealt with maintaining and giving the properties on rent. In both companies, I was incharge of complete accounting work.
I worked initially as internal auditor and then as accountant handling dealing with banks. Since it was an export oriented company, my main concern was to arrange working capital for production and L/C period in a way that cost of capital was lowest. Other than that I had to see the refund of rebats and commission payable/receivable from foreign parties
Besides day to day work, here I developed computerized accounting, administration and manufacturing system of the group in IBM AS 400 minicomputer in which extensive networking was involved. At that time, it was a very exhaustive and comprehensive system.
