AML compliance services exist because every business subject to anti-money laundering obligations in the UAE is required to appoint a compliance officer. For small and mid-sized firms, hiring a dedicated specialist is a heavy cost — which is where an outsourced compliance officer comes in.
Through our outsourced compliance officer service, we provide your business with a CAMS-certified specialist who takes on the full monitoring and reporting role: reviewing transactions, applying due-diligence procedures, preparing periodic reports and handling regulator requirements.
The outsourced compliance officer works as part of your team, at a fraction of a full-time salary, and brings experience accumulated across businesses in several sectors.
What the service includes
Due-diligence procedures
Designing and applying customer and beneficial-owner screening, with escalation where needed.
Transaction monitoring
Regular review of activity and detection of unusual patterns that warrant investigation.
Periodic reporting
Preparing internal compliance reports and tracking reporting obligations to the relevant authorities.
Inspection readiness
Keeping records and documentation organised so your business is ready for any regulatory review.
Who is this service for?
- Real estate brokerages
- Dealers in gold, precious metals and stones
- Company formation service providers
- Accounting and audit firms
- Businesses that have received regulatory findings to remediate
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an in-house and an outsourced compliance officer?
An in-house officer is a full-time employee on your payroll. An outsourced compliance officer performs the same duties under a service agreement, at lower cost and with broader experience gained across several businesses and sectors.
Is this service suitable for small businesses?
Yes, and it suits them best. Small businesses carry the same obligations but rarely justify the salary of a dedicated specialist.
How long does it take to get started?
We usually begin with an initial assessment of your current compliance position, then set a remediation plan and take on the duties. Timing depends on your size and how ready your documentation is.
Do you cover the whole UAE?
Yes, we serve businesses across all emirates, and we are based in Abu Dhabi.
