In this episode of The Riffle, we break down the DFSA’s Policy Statement on assessing the fitness and propriety of Authorised Individuals under GEN Rule 7.6.5.

We unpack how the DFSA applies a case-by-case, holistic assessment framework built around three core pillars — integrity, competence and capability, and financial soundness. The episode explores the key conduct, regulatory, employment, and financial factors that may influence an individual’s suitability, while clarifying why adverse findings do not automatically result in rejection.

A clear, practical overview for compliance teams, senior management, and Authorised Individuals navigating DFSA expectations across the DIFC.
