Dr Sammut has held a practicing warrant in Accountancy and Auditing for over twenty five years, is a Fellow Member of the Malta Institute of Accountants and has served on its committee for Continuous Professional Education. He manages his own public practice evolving from a small domestic audit practice into an internationally active financial services office.
