In 2023, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) updated its regulations on Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures. These changes introduced a risk-based approach to identifying UBOs in complex ownership structures and continue to impose strict compliance requirements on companies. Non-compliance with the new regulations can result in fines ranging from AED 15,000 to 100,000 and a potential suspension of the business license. For a detailed overview of these important regulatory changes, read the full briefing by Dr. Constantin Frank-Fahle, Marcel Trost and Adina Sevelius in the following link: https://lnkd.in/dwmszF78 emltc #UAE #UBO #AML #CTF

We have just updated the page of the AgentSafe for Real Estate website, to reflect the latest update on the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Bill 2024. For more information click the link below; https://lnkd.in/gmZAvEpp. If the Bill passes, AML/CTF obligations would not apply until 1 July 2026 for tranche two entities that provide new designated services. These entities will be able to enrol with AUSTRAC from 31 March 2026. This is to allow time for newly regulated entities to understand and prepare for their new AML/CTF obligations. AUSTRAC will develop guidance and educational materials that will support newly regulated entities in implementing effective AML/CTF measures within their businesses. #AgentSafe #AUSTRAC #Moneylaundering #Counterterrorism #software #realestateagents #lawyers #developers #accountants

The much-anticipated Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Bill 2024 (AML Bill) has finally passed through the Senate and the House. The AML Bill addresses three key objectives: * capturing higher risk 'gatekeeper' professions; * simplifying the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regime to improve its effectiveness; and * modernising the regime to reflect changing business structures, technologies and illicit financing methodologies. The new laws are intended to commence in 2026 and apply to services provided both in Australia and overseas. This is all directed towards the Government ensuring that the reforms are in place for Australia's mutual evaluation by FATF in 2026-27. #aml #ctf
