AML & KYC Compliance

AML and KYC are no longer paper exercises - UK and UAE regulators expect a risk-based approach, continuous monitoring, and demonstrable evidence on every file. This pillar explains how modern firms screen clients against global sanctions and PEP lists, verify source of funds, and run annual reviews without drowning in spreadsheets. We cover the rules, the practical workflows, and how Accupe automates the heavy lifting with OpenSanctions and Compliance Radar.
