UAE AML/CFT legislation and its implementing Cabinet decisions require financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) (such as real estate agents, dealers in precious metals and stones, and corporate service providers) to perform risk assessments, customer due diligence, sanctions screening, ongoing monitoring and suspicious transaction reporting to the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit through goAML.
We build risk-based AML/CFT programmes, enterprise-wide risk assessments, policies and training, and run independent AML reviews.
Who it is for
- Banks, exchange houses and payment providers
- DNFBPs: real estate, precious metals, corporate services, auditors
- Virtual asset service providers
What you gain
- Supervisor-ready AML programmes
- Consistent goAML reporting
- Effective sanctions screening
How we get you compliant
Applicability and scoping
Confirm whether and how the law applies to you, entities, data, systems, roles and territories.
Data and process mapping
Build a record of processing or control inventory so obligations can be tied to real systems and owners.
Gap assessment
Measure current practice against each obligation and rank the gaps by legal and business risk.
Remediation roadmap
Policies, notices, contracts, technical controls and governance, sequenced so the highest risks close first.
Evidence and ongoing monitoring
A compliance calendar, metrics and periodic reviews so you can demonstrate compliance to a regulator or customer at any time.
