Anti-Money Laundering

This book critically analyses the role of the
United Arab Emirates Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in the Suspicious Activities Reports regime. The author pays particular attention to its functions and powers in dealing with Suspicious Activities Reports and relevant requirements imposed upon the reporting entities. In the analysis, the author also compares the United Arab Emirates FIU model to the United Kingdom FIU model.

In addition, the book investigates whether
the current United Arab Emirates FIU model complies with the relevant international recommendations developed by the Financial Action Task Force in relation to the establishment of the unit, as well as its powers and functions.

This
book suggests that more can be done to
improve the current functions and powers of the United Arab Emirates FIU in an international context.
Furthermore, the author suggests that the functions and powers of the United FIU model both comply with the international requirements andbeneficially extend beyond their directives.
