Development of AML-CFT Framework

Developing an effective AML-CFT framework is essential for entities to detect and mitigate the risks of money laundering and financing terrorism (ML-FT). Jitendra Chartered Accountants (JCA), one of the leading AML consultants in Dubai, can help companies develop an effective AML-CFT framework for their companies.

An AML-CFT framework or program lays down the policies, controls, and procedures for implementing the UAE Anti-Money Laundering and Combatting the Financing of Terrorism (AML-CFT) laws and regulations.

An AML-CFT framework should be a formally written document approved by the senior management. The key compliance staff, independent AML auditors, and supervisory authorities should be able to access the framework.

AML-CFT Framework to Counter ML-FT Crimes

The alarming rise in ML-FT crimes has put UAE businesses at risk. Falling prey to ML-FT crimes will put an organization’s integrity and reputation in peril.  As a counteraction, entities must take complete control over their processes and operations to shield them from getting exposed to ML-FT activities. JCA provides tailor-made AML framework services in Dubai to help organizations comply with the AML Laws.
