Compliance refers to the act of adhering to laws, regulations, and internal company policies that govern business operations. In the UAE, companies must comply with various regulations, including anti-money laundering (AML) laws, corporate governance rules, tax laws, and employment regulations. Regulatory bodies such as the Ministry of Economy (MOE), Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), and the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) oversee compliance in their respective sectors. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines, business suspension, or even criminal liability, making it essential for companies to implement strong compliance frameworks.
