Central Bank of United Arab Emirates Guidelines
Anti-Money Laundering and Combatting the Financing of Terrorism (2021)
Financial crime remains a key focus area worldwide and in the UAE.
The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) has recently issued new guidance notes to assist all Licensed Financial Institutions (LFIs) with their Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combatting the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) statutory obligations under the legal and regulatory framework in force in the UAE.
Each guidance comes into effect immediately upon its issuance by the CBUAE with LFIs expected to demonstrate compliance with its requirements within one month of the issued date.
As the CBUAE embarks on this complex and crucial task of enhancing the national AML and CFT framework, Deloitte can provide the right expertise, assistance and guidance to support LFIs on their journey to compliance with their AML and CFT obligations.
