Complinet — Connected Compliance in the Middle East

Complinet is the leading provider of solutions that dynamically deliver relevant compliance intelligence to industry professionals within the increasingly regulated financial services markets in the Middle East.

Over the past couple of years, strict regulatory frameworks have been introduced in the Middle East region to ensure world class regulation and compliance. Regulators such as the Central Bank of Bahrain, the Capital Market Authority in Saudi, the Dubai Financial Services Authority, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority, the Emirates Securities and Commodities Authority and many others are putting in place new regulatory initiatives and reforms. The regional regulators’ main aim is to ensure that financial activity is conducted to international standards. This puts large amounts of pressure on financial organizations in the market to stay compliant, up-to-date and ahead of regulatory changes.

Complinet Middle East has built relationships with key regulators in this increasingly influential region, many of which recognize the importance of making laws and rules easily accessible to the financial services community and public. The DFSA, the QFCRA and the Central Bank of Bahrain initiated and coordinated the launch of their legislative material online using Complinet’s sophisticated rulebooks hosting platform. The service allows users to browse and search these regulators’ legislative materials. It also connects to related rules and news. This rulebook package, together with relevant news and analysis, comprises our latest subscription service: Middle East News and Reference — a complete information solution for those that need to keep ahead of Middle East regulatory developments.

Policy Manager

In the rapidly developing Middle Eastern markets, the need to build up internal policy manuals is vital. With the vast amounts of regulatory information and the ever-changing rules and regulations, keeping track of changes, updating the manuals, and communicating the changes internally in a timely manner can be a difficult task, wasting valuable resources.

Complinet’s Policy Manager will connect external regulatory change from regulators such as the Dubai Financial Services Authority, the Central Bank of Bahrain, and Dubai International Financial Exchange to your internal policies to provide an enterprise-wide compliance content management system. Policy Manager can also help keep track of staff training and provide a straightforward process of communicating external changes internally.

Global Screening

In the growing Middle Eastern markets, the need for effective know your customer and due diligence activities is increasing. Financial institutions and regulated companies must monitor, investigate and report transactions and activities of a suspicious nature.

These measures protect the industry and the wider community, but they also represent a further set of risks to financial organizations — the risks of non-compliance, regulatory failure and reputational damage. Anti-money laundering is one notable area of law where ignorance not only offers no defense but it is an offense in its own right.

Complinet can connect all your AML, KYC, and due diligence programs with your regulatory and business risk requirements.
