Depending on your activities, AML compliance includes checking customers and their ownership, assessing risks, monitoring transactions and reporting suspicious activity. Your business also needs appropriate procedures, employee training and records of the checks carried out.
No. Registering on goAML gives your business access to the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit's reporting platform. You must still carry out the AML duties that apply to your activities, including customer checks, monitoring and recordkeeping.
Yes. Adventant can assist with customer file reviews, policy updates and reporting preparation. Responsibilities are agreed before starting, including the decisions that remain with your appointed officer. External support does not remove your business's responsibility for meeting its AML obligations.
Review them regularly and whenever a relevant change occurs, such as new regulatory requirements, changes to your services or updated customer ownership information. Customer review schedules should reflect risk. Follow any specific review periods required by your regulator.
It depends on your licence and activities. Financial institutions are generally supervised by the CBUAE, DFSA, ADGM FSRA or the CMA, while many DNFBPs fall under the Ministry of Economy and Tourism or the Ministry of Justice. Gaming operators are supervised by the GCGRA. We can help confirm which framework applies to you.
