01About goAML Registration

This Website is operated by goAML Registration (“we”, “us”, “our”). Our contact details are set out in Section 13.

We support businesses in the United Arab Emirates with goAML registration and related AML/CFT compliance matters, including SACM pre-registration, goAML portal set-up, report filing support, MLRO/Compliance Officer guidance and related consultancy services.

02Independence from the UAE FIU

We are an independent consultancy. We are not the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit (UAE FIU), a supervisory authority, a government entity or the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and we are not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by any of them.

goAML is software developed by UNODC for Financial Intelligence Units. In the UAE, access to goAML is managed by the UAE FIU, including through its SACM registration process. Official registration, report submission and portal access take place only through the UAE FIU’s own systems.

External official resources:

• UAE FIU: SACM registration portal (official external website)
• UNODC: goAML (official external website)

The information published on this Website, including articles, guides, FAQs and other materials, is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for legal, regulatory or professional advice tailored to your circumstances.

Where we provide consultancy or advisory services, the scope of those services and the applicable terms will be determined by the relevant engagement arrangements agreed with the client.

Our consultancy assistance does not transfer your statutory responsibilities to us. Your organisation and its appointed Compliance Officer/MLRO remain responsible at all times for meeting your obligations under UAE AML/CFT law, including decisions on whether to file a report and its content, and for keeping your goAML username, Google Authenticator secret key and other portal credentials secure.
