Disciplined risk management

Risk & Compliance

How we manage risk in our own business, and the standards we apply to every policy, document, and engagement.

Our framework

Risk management built into our work.

We hold ourselves to the same standards we help our clients meet.

Risk management built into our work.

Underwriting discipline

Risks are assessed against written underwriting standards set by our Head of Underwriting, and exceptions are documented and approved.

Client due diligence

Every client is identified and verified, with enhanced checks for higher-risk relationships.

AML and sanctions controls

We screen clients and transactions and report suspicions in line with UAE requirements.

Document control

Policies, filings, and client records are checked before release and stored securely.

Independent review

Our compliance and assessment function reviews controls independently of client-facing teams.

Three lines

Who is responsible for what.

  1. 01

    Client-facing teams

    Own the risks in their daily work and apply the controls in our procedures.

  2. 02

    Compliance and assessment

    Set standards, monitor adherence, and advise the business on regulatory requirements.

  3. 03

    Leadership oversight

    Reviews risks and compliance findings regularly and makes sure they are acted on.

Raising a concern

Tell us if something does not look right.

If you have a concern about a transaction, a document, or the conduct of anyone acting in our name, email [email protected] with "Compliance" in the subject line. Concerns are handled confidentially by our compliance function.
