What is Anti-Money Laundering (AML)?

Anti-Money Laundering (AML), often known as anti-money laundering, is the process of carrying out transactions in order to transform unlawfully obtained funds into legal funds. Although your organization follows the standards, this does not imply that your partners and business associates follow the same AML compliance requirements as you. You bear the risk, especially in international commerce, that the businesses or persons with whom you do business are not in accordance with the government's anti-money laundering legislation. Due diligence investigations on your partners, suppliers, and customers are consequently critical.

FAQs

Money laundering is the process of disguising the illegitimate source of criminal gains. The gathering or supply of finances for terrorist activities is referred to as terrorist funding. Money laundering always involves monies of unlawful origin, but terrorist funding might involve cash from both legal and illicit sources. The major objective of persons or institutions participating in terrorist financing is therefore to conceal not just the source of the money, but also the funding activity and the nature of the supported action. Money laundering and terrorism funding both employ similar strategies.
Financial institutions must conduct stringent Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and maintain a high level of transparency in order to successfully combat money laundering and terrorism funding. When establishing a commercial partnership or preparing a specific cash transaction in excess of a set amount, CDD must be used. CDD should also be used when financial institutions suspect money laundering or terrorism funding.
The primary law that organizations in the UAE must follow is 'Federal Law No. 20 of 2018, on Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Terrorist Financing and Funding of Illegal Organizations'. A crucial regulation is the implementing regulation 'Cabinet Decision No. 10 of 2019 about the implementing regulation of Decree-Law No. 20 of 2018. Furthermore, various recommendations have been developed to help financial institutions and designated non-financial companies and professions (DNFBPs) in complying with the primary legislation.
