AML – OVERVIEW
JAA TRADING LLC is committed in compliance to, and strict practice of all regulatory requirements including those related to Anti Money Laundering by UAE and other competent world bodies. We comply with the regulations of world bodies which collectively set and enforce standards for Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist financing policies and programs such as FATF, UN, The EU, The Organization of American States – The office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Local Regulatory Authorities such as Central Bank of the UAE.
In UAE, the Central Bank of the UAE or more specifically the Anti-Money Laundering and Suspicious Cases Unit (AMLSCU) of the Central Bank is the regulatory body requiring the institution of AML rules. Since 2001, the UAE Government (UAEG) has taken steps to better monitor cash flows through the UAE financial system and to cooperate with international efforts to combat terrorist financing. The UAE has enacted two laws that serve as the foundation for the country’s Anti Money Laundering (AML) and counterterrorist financing (CTF) efforts: Law No 4/2002, the Anti-Money Laundering law, and Law No. 1/2004, the counterterrorism law. Although the Anti-Money Laundering law criminalizes money laundering, it is administrative Regulation No. 24/2000 that provides guidelines for how financial institutions are to monitor for money laundering activity.
