Frequently Asked Questions

Organizations in the UAE must comply with the 'Federal Law No. 20 of 2018, On Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism and Financing of Illegal Organizations.' This law provides the legal framework for AML and CFT in the UAE. The 'Cabinet Decision No. 10 of 2019' offers further guidance on compliance. Additionally, there are guidelines issued for financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) to assist them in complying with the main regulations.

Businesses should watch for signs of suspicious transactions, such as large cash transfers, businesses created solely to hide illicit money, frequent currency exchange transactions involving the same funds, unusually large debit and credit transactions, large investments without valid reasons, and identification documents that cannot be verified. Recognizing these signs is crucial, and businesses should report any suspicions to the relevant authorities.

The most recent and significant AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations in the UAE are outlined in the Federal Decree-Law No. (20) of 2018 On Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism and Financing of Illegal Organisations, commonly referred to as the "AML-CFT Law." This comprehensive legislation serves as the foundation for AML and CFT (Combating the Financing of Terrorism) efforts within the UAE.

In addition to the AML-CFT Law, the regulatory framework is further defined and operationalized by the Cabinet Decision No. (10) of 2019 Concerning the Implementing Regulation of Decree Law No. (20) of 2018 On Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism and Illegal Organisations. This implementing regulation, known as the "AML-CFT Decision" or "the Cabinet Decision," provides specific guidelines and directives for businesses and organizations to adhere to in order to ensure effective AML and CFT compliance.

These regulations highlight the UAE's commitment to combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and the activities of illegal organizations. As AML Consultants in Dubai, we stay up-to-date with these evolving regulations to assist your organization in understanding and implementing the necessary compliance measures to operate within the legal and ethical framework set by the UAE authorities.

The Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Law in the UAE mandates specific legal requirements for Financial Institutions (FIs) and Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) to establish comprehensive AML/CFT (Combating the Financing of Terrorism) Programs. These programs must encompass various crucial aspects to ensure effective compliance.

Under the UAE AML Law, businesses are required to formulate an AML Policy that addresses important elements such as Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, Screening, Risk Profiling, Governance, and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) filing. These components collectively contribute to safeguarding the financial system from illicit activities like money laundering and terrorist financing.

Furthermore, the AML Law stipulates that the AML procedures and guidelines, including the Anti-Money Laundering Policy, must be tailored to match the specific nature and size of the business. This ensures that businesses of varying complexities are equipped with the appropriate measures to prevent and detect suspicious activities.

To oversee these compliance efforts, the AML Compliance Officer holds a critical role. This officer is tasked with ensuring that all provisions of the UAE AML Law are adhered to. By collaborating with an AML Consultant in Dubai, businesses can navigate these legal requirements effectively, designing and implementing AML/CFT Programs that align with the UAE's regulatory framework and maintain the integrity of the financial ecosystem.

Non-compliance with AML regulations in Dubai can lead to severe consequences, including monetary fines, reputational damage, loss of business licenses, and potential legal actions. It's essential for businesses to prioritize AML compliance to avoid these adverse outcomes.
