Introduction
Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) in the UAE are required to complete detailed AML/CFT surveys as part of regulatory compliance obligations. These surveys assess how organisations implement anti-money laundering controls, risk assessments, reporting procedures, and governance frameworks.
For many DNFBPs, responding accurately is complex and resource-intensive. INTEGRTY Partners provides structured AML survey support to help organisations complete submissions confidently while aligning with UAE regulatory expectations.
What is a DNFBP AML Survey?
The DNFBP AML survey evaluates whether organisations have effective controls in place to detect, prevent, and report financial crime risks.
Key areas assessed include:
- Governance and compliance oversight
- AML risk assessment methodology
- Customer due diligence (CDD) processes
- UBO identification procedures
- Transaction monitoring
- Suspicious activity reporting controls
- AML training and awareness
