Sanctions Compliance Policies
Businesses dealing with international counterparties need documented policies for screening against sanctions lists before onboarding or transacting. We help draft sanctions compliance policies aligned with UAE regulatory expectations.
Sanctioned Countries & Jurisdictions Advisory
Doing business with or through certain countries carries regulatory exposure that changes as sanctions lists are updated. We advise on how sanctioned-jurisdiction exposure affects your business and what controls to put in place.
Customer Due Diligence (CDD)
Standard due diligence means verifying a customer's identity and understanding the nature of their business before you take them on. We help design and run the CDD checks your business needs to onboard customers responsibly.
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)
Higher-risk customers and relationships require a deeper level of scrutiny than standard checks, including source-of-funds verification and closer ongoing monitoring. We support businesses in applying EDD where a customer or transaction warrants it.
Compliance Risk Management
Managing sanctions and compliance risk on an ongoing basis means monitoring for changes in regulation, customer risk profiles, and transaction patterns. We help build the processes that keep your risk management current rather than a one-time exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions!
