About this Free AML/CFT Policies and Procedures Course
This practical course teaches compliance professionals how to build and run a UAE-compliant AML/CFT programme: the policies, procedures, controls and governance that turn the law into day-to-day practice. You learn what a policy must contain, how to secure senior-management approval, how to define the compliance officer role, and how to keep the framework current and audit-ready under UAE AML regulations.
What this AML Compliance
Framework Course Covers
Your policies and procedures are the backbone of the whole AML programme. They are the first thing a regulator asks to see, and every control you run, from customer due diligence to reporting, has to trace back to them. A clear, current, risk-based framework makes the rest of your compliance work defensible. A generic or out-of-date one undermines all of it.
This course takes you from the risk assessment that anchors the policy, through the specific controls each legal obligation demands, to the governance that holds the framework together: a compliance officer, senior-management approval, independent audit and staff training. You learn not just what the framework must include, but how to write it so staff can actually follow it and an examiner can actually trust it.
It is hands-on rather than theoretical. You work from a real policy structure, see what a strong AML/CFT manual looks like, and learn how to keep it alive as your business and the rules change.
What Must a UAE AML/CFT Policy Contain?
A UAE AML/CFT policy must set out how the business meets its preventive duties under UAE AML regulations. At a minimum that means a risk-based approach and risk assessment, customer due diligence, sanctions screening, suspicious transaction reporting, record-keeping, and governance, including a compliance officer, senior-management approval and independent audit.
