Financial Crime & Regulatory Compliance
The UAE has moved from writing anti-money-laundering rules to enforcing them. Fines are being issued, licences suspended, and the burden of demonstrating compliance sits with the business, not the regulator.
Who this applies to
If you are a Designated Non-Financial Business or Profession — a real estate agent, a dealer in precious metals or stones, a corporate service provider, an auditor or a lawyer — you are in scope whether or not you have registered. Financial institutions and virtual asset service providers carry heavier obligations again.
What we do
AML/CFT programme design and review. Written policies, a business risk assessment that reflects your actual client base rather than a template, and controls a supervisor can follow.
Customer due diligence. KYC procedures, enhanced due diligence triggers, source-of-funds and source-of-wealth checks, and ongoing monitoring.
Sanctions and PEP screening. Screening against the UAE Local Terrorist List and the UN Consolidated List, name-matching thresholds, and escalation procedures that people actually use.
goAML. Registration, and support preparing suspicious transaction and suspicious activity reports.
UBO and targeted financial sanctions. Beneficial ownership registers and the reporting obligations attaching to them.
Training and testing. Staff training records, independent testing of the programme, and remediation where testing finds gaps.
The most common problem we see is a policy document that was bought rather than built. It reads well and describes a business that is not yours. A supervisor will notice that in the first ten minutes.

We moved off our old accounting system, KASA handled the migration years of client ledgers, matter balances, historical billing and caught inconsistencies in our records that we had been carrying for a while without realising. Everything reconciled at the end of it. They have since kept us straight on VAT and Corporate Tax, and started us on eInvoicing readiness. Good people to have on the finance and IT side.

Marlaw, Partner
KASA came in to assess our finance setup and map out where we needed to be for eInvoicing. They handled the technical questions properly. Integration, system compatibility, how the pieces talk to each other and gave us answers we could actually build on. Solid partner for anything on the finance technology side.
Waqar Ahmed
Technical Director, 10X Digital
Our invoicing and record-keeping had outgrown the way we were doing things. KASA helped us fix the process, tighten the controls, and get properly briefed on what eInvoicing will mean for us. Clear advice and they stayed practical throughout. We wil be using them again.
