AML Risk Assessment Services in the UAE
An effective Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework begins with a comprehensive risk assessment. UAE regulations require businesses to identify, assess, and understand their exposure to money laundering and terrorism financing risks.
At Al Hisab Tax Consultancy, we conduct structured and risk-based AML assessments in line with the guidelines issued by the UAE Ministry of Economy and the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit.
What Is an AML Risk Assessment?
An AML Risk Assessment evaluates your business’s vulnerability based on:
- Customer Risk – Type of clients, ownership structure, PEP exposure
- Geographic Risk – Countries of operation or customer origin
- Product & Service Risk – Nature of services offered
- Transaction Risk – Volume, frequency, and payment methods
- Delivery Channel Risk – Face-to-face vs non-face-to-face onboarding
