The question is no longer “are we compliant?”

Most real estate firms believe they are AML ready.They have policies. They have files. They may even be registered on goAML.But when the regulator checks, the question becomes very different.

  • Can your firm prove who the real beneficial owner is?
  • Can your team show why a transaction was treated as low, medium, or high risk?
  • Can your records survive inspection without someone rushing to fix them later?
  • Can your compliance officer pause a deal when something does not look right?

That is where many firms get exposed.Why this session matters nowUAE real estate businesses are facing increased AML scrutiny.The regulator is no longer only checking whether documents exist. The focus is shifting toward whether AML controls actually work in practice.For brokerages, this creates real risk around client onboarding, beneficial ownership checks, goAML readiness, transaction monitoring, internal approvals, and record keeping.This webinar is designed to help real estate firms understand where the pressure is coming from, what usually goes wrong, and how to prepare before an inspection or regulatory notice arrives.
