In this episode of The Riffle, we examine the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) framework governing Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF), and Countering Proliferation Financing (CPF)within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

We explore the regulatory architecture underpinning AML compliance, including the DFSA’s risk-based approach, customer due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence (ECDD) requirements, senior management oversight, and verification standards for individuals and legal persons.

The discussion also covers governance expectations for digital onboarding and automated monitoring systems, accountability for outsourced AML functions, internal audit requirements, and regulatory obligations related to sanctions screening and reporting.

A concise regulatory briefing for boards, senior management, MLROs, compliance, risk, and legal teams seeking clarity on DFSA AML supervisory expectations and compliance standards in the DIFC.
