The ADGM Registration Authority (RA) presents the 2026 update of its Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (ML/TF) Risk Assessment of ADGM Legal Persons and Arrangements (LPA) report, underscoring ADGM's committment to combating financial crime and maintaining an effective anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) system within its jurisdiction.
As part of the UAE’s AML/CFT framework, ADGM is required to identify, assess and understand the money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) risks associated with Legal Persons and arrangements established in its jurisdiction.
ADGM’s legal framework provides for a wide range of different legal person types, including public and private companies, partnerships, and foundations. As a result, the ML/TF risks of ADGM Legal Persons and arrangements also differ, therefore requiring a granular identification and assessment of the specific ML/TF risks associated with ADGM's Legal Persons and arrangements.
The UAE has a comprehensive National Risk Assessment (NRA) as well as a UAE national Legal Persons and Arrangements risk assessment (UAE LPA). The ADGM LPA risk assessment findings and report are designed to supplement and support the UAE LPA.
The ADGM community and in particular financial institutions, company service providers, virtual asset service providers, designated non-financial businesses and professions, and other stakeholders engaging with ADGM LPA can utilise insights from the ADGM LPA report to enhance their risk assessments when engaging with ADGM entities.
Key updates and findings since the 2024 risk assessment:
