Risk Consulting & AML by ASCA Audit and Advisory
The UAE has dramatically strengthened its anti-money-laundering regime, and enforcement is real: Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) — including real estate brokers, dealers in precious metals and stones, auditors and corporate service providers — face substantial fines for non-compliance with AML/CFT obligations.
ASCA Audit and Advisory builds practical risk and compliance frameworks: goAML registration, risk assessments, policies and procedures, customer due diligence programmes, and the internal controls that keep day-to-day operations honest and efficient.
