6. CURRICULUM VITAE OF AL-MUTHANA HIJJI
During 1993 onwards, the Saudi Hollandi Bank have undertaken major centralization project. As a result of such
project, the department's name has changed to Central Processing and Control Division which consists of :
 Kingdom-wide Transfers Department
 Bookkeeping Department name and functions changed to Central Department and it was also a
kingdom-wide department.
 Newly added responsibilities of Payroll Department and expense processing unit which is a
centralized function.
 Account Administration which was in-charge of account opening/closing, disbursements of
consumer loans/customer limits, etc.
 Corporate Service Desk which handled transaction for Corporate Customers.
During the period from 1991, up to now, I have significantly participated in the growth and development of the
SAUDI HOLLANDI BANK through the following achievements.
(1) We have restructured the department several times and broke down the levels of controls by creating
supervisors' functions and distributing the controls between officers and supervisors. This new setup has
allowed us to significantly improve our controls and allow time for officers to manage and solve issues
relating to customer service/system related issues/controls which resulted in an obvious improvements in
all the above, the department as a result have become self-running. We have also received several
thanking LONOs from various bank departments for our services to them.
(2) We have strengthened the awareness among the staff of the importance of operations controls and
procedures through an education exercise, and we have scheduled yearly internal audit to have staff review
their work and correct their old errors, the purposes is to improve accountability. The result was an
improvement in Audit reports from UNSATISFACTORY to SATISFACTORY and we maintained this
level since 1991.
(3) We have centralized all payments and control functions from all areas into CPCD, we have done so with
a very small increase of staff which resulted in over 200% increase in staff productivity. This record will
remain unchallenged for a long time.
(4) We have upgraded the level of staff through bringing good staff from other organizations and other
groups within the bank and released the weak staff, and created specific training plan.
(5) We have undertaken or participated in more than 30 development projects, the majority of them were
technology related.
(6) We have prepared a plan for 1997/1998 for major changes in the department which distinguishes between
strategic projects and tactical ones, the main issue is the payment products re-engineering that will result from
implementation of the SARIE project.
(7) We have assisted the branches by taking over many of the operations functions that they used to do, this
allowed the branches to concentrate on serving the customer at the counter. The above issues did and will add
value to SHB operations and improve its quality.
