The UAE has become one of the world’s most attractive business hubs, but with that growth comes responsibility. To protect its financial system and meet international standards, the UAE has introduced strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) requirements.
Among these requirements are obligations for certain sectors to register and comply with the goAML platform, particularly those under DPMSR (Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions – DNFBPs) and REAR (Real Estate Agents and Related Professions).
For many businesses, navigating these complex rules can be overwhelming. That’s where AML consultants step in. At Al Fakher Accounting, we help companies simplify compliance and avoid costly mistakes.
What is goAML Compliance?
The goAML system, developed by the UAE’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), is an online platform used by businesses to:
- Register with the authorities
- Report suspicious transactions (STRs)
- File threshold transaction reports (TTRs)
- Ensure compliance with UAE AML/CTF laws
Every DNFBP and REAR entity is required to be registered and active on the goAML system.
Who Needs to Comply (DPMSR/REAR)?
The following businesses fall under the mandatory compliance category:
- DPMSR (DNFBPs): Auditors, accountants, company service providers, dealers in precious metals & stones, law firms, trust companies
- REAR: Real estate brokers, agents, and developers
These businesses are at higher risk of being misused for money laundering or terrorist financing, making compliance critical.
Challenges Businesses Face in goAML Compliance
Many companies in the UAE struggle with:
- Complicated registration on the goAML system
