COMPLIANCE ADVISORY

Regulated. Strategic. Resilient.

COMPLIANCE IS MORE THAN A CHECKBOX

Compliance today isn’t just about avoiding fines but creating trust, protecting reputation, and unlocking long-term growth. Businesses that treat compliance as a strategy, not paperwork, gain a real competitive edge.

At AKW Consultants, we help regulated entities build compliance and governance frameworks that can withstand audits, inspections, and international scrutiny. Our solutions are tailored to your business model, sector risks, and regulatory environment, ensuring both legal compliance and operational resilience.

Our Core Compliance Solutions

AML & CFT Compliance

Turn compliance into an asset, not a burden.

We design AML frameworks aligned with UAE laws and FATF standards, streamline
Customer Due Diligence (CDD), strengthen sanctions screening, and can serve as your
outsourced MLRO when needed.

Regulatory Compliance

Find clarity in complexity.

We simplify regulatory obligations across the UAE mainland, free zones, and global
jurisdictions, covering everything from Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) filings to ESG
disclosures, labour law, and data protection.

Regulatory Licensing across VARA, SCA, DFSA, FSRA & CBUAE

Navigate licensing & AML frameworks confidently.

We help VASPs, fintechs, and financial institutions secure licences, build regulator-ready
frameworks, and stay compliant under VARA, SCA, DFSA, FSRA, and the UAE Central Bank.

AML Inspection Support

Be ready before the regulator knocks.

We prepare documentation, train your MLRO, conduct mock audits,
and provide hands-on support during inspections from MoE, CBUAE,
DFSA, FSRA, and VARA.
