Frequently Asked Questions

AML compliance is the legal requirement for businesses to implement anti money laundering and counter-terrorist financing controls, includes risk-based controls across CDD/EDD, sanctions and PEP screening, transaction monitoring, and suspicious transaction reporting through goAML. Effective compliance means these controls are not only documented, but embedded in day-to-day operations and capable of withstanding regulatory scrutiny.

Financial institutions and Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) operating in the UAE are subject to AML compliance requirements. This includes banks, exchange houses, insurance companies, real estate brokers, auditors, corporate service providers, dealers in precious metals and stones, and virtual asset service providers.

Yes. All regulated financial institutions and DNFBPs must register on the goAML platform to file Suspicious Transaction and Activity Reports with the UAEFIU.

An AML compliance audit independently assesses whether your AML framework is adequately designed and operating effectively. It covers key areas such as EWRA, policies and procedures, KYC/CDD/EDD, sanctions and PEP screening, transaction monitoring, suspicious transaction reporting, record keeping, training, and governance — identifying control gaps and providing practical, prioritised recommendations for remediation.

ASC Global provides end-to-end AML compliance and advisory support in the UAE — including EWRA and AML/CFT Risk Assessment Reports, policy development, KYC/CDD/EDD, screening and transaction monitoring, goAML support, independent audits, regulatory remediation, training, and ongoing compliance advisory.
