Expertise in regulatory compliance and AML/CFT

We help businesses develop and update their AML/CFT policies and procedures in line with the regulatory requirements applicable in the United Arab Emirates. Our approach takes into account the nature of their activities, their organization, and their risk exposure to establish a compliance framework that is both appropriate and operational.

We support businesses in implementing and improving their know-your-customer (KYC) and customer due diligence (CDD) procedures. Our services include identifying and verifying customers and beneficial owners, assessing risks, and applying enhanced due diligence (EDD) measures when necessary.

We support businesses with their registration on the goAML platform and the implementation of procedures for reporting suspicious transactions (STR/SAR). Our work aims to facilitate compliance with reporting obligations, strengthen internal detection mechanisms, and ensure rigorous management of alerts and reports to the relevant authorities.

We support companies in identifying and declaring their ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs), as well as maintaining and updating regulatory registers. Our work aims to strengthen transparency in ownership structures and facilitate compliance with reporting obligations.

We offer AML/CFT training tailored to the responsibilities of executives, compliance officers, and employees. Our programs cover regulatory requirements, KYC/CDD procedures, the identification of suspicious transactions, and targeted financial sanctions, helping teams strengthen their skills and apply best practices every day.

We support companies in preparing for regulatory inspections and audits by assessing their AML/CFT compliance levels. Our work includes reviewing policies and procedures, checking mandatory files and registers, identifying gaps, and defining corrective actions to better anticipate supervisory authorities’ requirements.

We conduct independent assessments of AML/CFT systems to evaluate their regulatory compliance and operational effectiveness. Our work includes reviewing policies and procedures, assessing internal controls, and testing samples of customer and transaction files. At the end of the engagement, we present a report detailing our findings, identified risks, and recommendations for improvement.
