The financial regulator inside ADGM
The FSRA rulebook, section by section
Every financial services firm in Abu Dhabi Global Market must comply with FSRA regulations. The Financial Services Regulatory Authority enforces through inspections, penalties, and license actions. Achieve compliance faster with purpose-built automation.
Achieve FSRA Compliance Fast
Protect your license and reputation
FSRA regulations have real enforcement power, and use it.
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority isn't just another regulator in the UAE. As ADGM's independent regulator, FSRA enforces complete financial services regulations modeled on international best practices but adapted for Abu Dhabi's financial ecosystem. FSRA conducts regular inspections, issues enforcement notices, imposes substantial penalties, and ultimately controls your license to operate. Firms that treat FSRA compliance as optional discover it's mandatory, often through enforcement actions that threaten their ability to do business in ADGM.
FSRA regulation is mandatory. Compliance doesn't have to be overwhelming.
Implement All Applicable FSRA Rulebook Requirements
FSRA's complete Rulebook covers governance, risk management, conduct of business, prudential standards, and more. Different license types face different requirements. Our platform maps your license to applicable rules, identifies implementation gaps, and guides you through building compliant policies, procedures, and controls, creating the documented program FSRA inspectors expect.
License-specific requirements. Gap identification. Complete implementation.
Build the Governance Framework FSRA Demands
FSRA requires strong governance: clear organizational structure, defined roles and responsibilities, effective board oversight, senior management accountability, and documented decision-making processes. Governance failures trigger enforcement actions. Our platform helps you build and document governance structures that satisfy FSRA expectations and demonstrate effective control.
Clear structure. Documented accountability. Effective oversight.
Implement Complete AML/CFT Programs
FSRA enforces strict anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements. You must conduct customer due diligence, screen transactions, file suspicious activity reports, maintain records, and train staff. AML failures are among FSRA's most serious enforcement priorities. AccuSights maps the AML/CFT requirements that apply, assesses whether the policies and controls exist, assigns remediation and keeps the documentation. Due diligence, screening and suspicious activity reporting are run by the firm in its own AML systems.
Requirements mapped. Control gaps assessed. FSRA-ready evidence.
Manage Risk According to FSRA Standards
FSRA requires firms to identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate risks systematically. This includes market risk, credit risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, and compliance risk. Your risk management framework must be proportionate to your size and complexity. Our platform helps you build risk frameworks, conduct assessments, and maintain the documentation FSRA inspectors review.
Systematic risk management. Proportionate framework. Complete documentation.
Submit Accurate Regulatory Returns On Time
FSRA requires regular regulatory returns covering financial conditions, business activities, and compliance status. Late or inaccurate submissions trigger enforcement actions and raise red flags about your overall compliance. AccuSights tracks the return calendar, records what each submission requires and keeps the reporting evidence, turning the deadline from a crisis into a routine. Preparing and submitting the returns stays with the firm.
Deadline tracking. Submission records. Nothing filed on your behalf.
Prepare for FSRA Inspections and Examinations
FSRA conducts regular inspections of regulated firms, examining governance, controls, compliance programs, and business practices. When FSRA arrives, they expect immediate access to policies, procedures, risk assessments, meeting minutes, and evidence of implementation. Our platform maintains inspection-ready documentation, turning FSRA visits from existential threats into manageable processes.
Complete documentation. Instant access. Inspection-ready evidence.
