Home Other ServicesESR, FIU & GoAML Compliance
The UAE's regulatory landscape demands strict adherence to Economic Substance Regulations (ESR), Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) reporting obligations, and GoAML registration for anti-money laundering compliance. These frameworks were introduced to align the UAE with international standards set by the OECD and FATF, ensuring transparency and combating financial crimes. Businesses operating in the UAE must understand their obligations under each framework and maintain ongoing compliance to avoid significant penalties, reputational damage, and potential criminal liability.
At Almobaderoon Consulting, we provide end-to-end compliance solutions that cover ESR notification and reporting, FIU suspicious transaction reporting, and GoAML platform registration and management. Our team of regulatory specialists stays current with evolving requirements from the Ministry of Finance, Central Bank, and relevant authorities to ensure your business remains fully compliant. We work with companies across all sectors to implement robust compliance frameworks tailored to their specific activities and risk profiles.
Economic Substance Regulations require UAE entities engaged in relevant activities—such as banking, insurance, fund management, leasing, headquarters, shipping, holding companies, intellectual property, and distribution—to demonstrate adequate economic substance within the country. FIU reporting mandates that designated non-financial businesses and professions report suspicious transactions to the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit. GoAML is the secure online platform through which these reports are submitted. Non-compliance with any of these frameworks can result in penalties ranging from AED 10,000 to AED 400,000, exchange of information with foreign authorities, and in severe cases, licence revocation.
We assess your relevant activities, determine substance requirements, prepare ESR notifications, and file annual reports with the regulatory authority on your behalf.
We handle complete GoAML platform registration, staff training on suspicious transaction identification, and ongoing STR/SAR filing support for your organization.
