Combatting money laundering in Dubai

How to follow the official framework

1. 1

   Understand the risk-based approach

   Start with the UAE strategy, which draws on international best practices and the UAE’s own experience. It focuses on complex and emerging threats, including trade-based money laundering, third-party use, complex legal structures, and risks linked to new technologies.

2. 2

   Review national coordination

   Check the structured national system for combatting money laundering, terrorism financing, and proliferation financing. It is designed to provide strong governance, effective coordination, and clear accountability across the relevant authorities.

   Review the goAML system

   The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime developed the goAML anti-money laundering platform to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. Many financial intelligence units worldwide use it, and the UAE is the first Gulf country to apply this modern system.
