In today’s heightened regulatory environment, the risks associated with non-compliance—whether financial, reputation, or operational—are more significant than ever. At J V Thomson, we provide the expertise necessary to build a robust compliance framework that not only meets regulatory requirements but also safeguards your business against evolving financial crime risks.
Our AML/CFT compliance consulting services empower your organization to stay ahead of regulatory changes, mitigate potential risks, and enhance operational efficiency, positioning your business for sustained growth and security in a complex financial world.
At JV Thomson Chartered Accountants, we provide expert services to help you develop and maintain robust Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering Financing of Terrorism (CFT) policies and procedures. It is essential for financial institutions and DNFBPs (Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions) to establish comprehensive AML/CFT frameworks based on thorough ML/TF (Money Laundering/Terrorist Financing) risk assessments, in accordance with both national and international regulations.
Your AML/CFT policy should clearly define the roles and responsibilities of senior management, Compliance Officers/MLROs (Money Laundering Reporting Officers), and frontline staff concerning AML/CFT compliance. Additionally, the policy must ensure regular and timely reporting to senior management on identified ML/TF risks, with recommended actions to mitigate risks related to money laundering, terrorist financing, and associated offenses.
These procedures must align with the UAE’s current AML/CFT laws, regulations, notices, and standards, as well as global best practices and guidelines, such as those set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Our team specializes in developing, reviewing, and updating policies to ensure compliance with relevant laws and international best practices, thereby minimizing both existing and potential non-compliance risks.
Furthermore, we ensure that your AML/CFT policy outlines the duties and responsibilities of business owners, partners, shareholders, and the Board of Directors (where applicable) in creating a robust AML/CFT program. We also offer guidance to your staff, helping them minimize ML/TF risks in day-to-day operations.
An effective AML training program is a legal obligation for Financial Institutions (FIs) and DNFBPs, such as dealers in precious metals and stones, real estate agents, auditors, and corporate service providers in the UAE. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in significant penalties.
Our AML training programs ensure that employees fully understand their roles and responsibilities within the AML compliance framework. We provide comprehensive training solutions tailored to meet regulatory standards and foster a culture of compliance throughout your organization.
Our AML/CFT Software Advisory and Implementation services are designed to help businesses select, implement, and optimize anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing software solutions, enhancing their compliance frameworks while minimizing financial crime risks.
A robust AML/CFT program incorporates key risk-based controls, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. These controls include Customer Due Diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, sanctions list screening, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) screening, and adverse media monitoring. At JV Thomson, we offer expert guidance in navigating regulatory requirements, equipping your business with tailored compliance solutions to effectively mitigate financial risks.
In today's rapidly evolving regulatory environment, adhering to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) regulations is crucial for businesses. However, for many startups and smaller enterprises, maintaining compliance can be both resource-intensive and costly.
To address these challenges, companies in the UAE are increasingly outsourcing their compliance officer functions. JV Thomson Chartered Accountants offers specialized outsourced AML/CFT compliance services, providing clients with expert guidance and cost-efficient solutions to ensure full regulatory compliance.
