Organizations across the UAE are required to appoint a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) to ensure compliance with UAE AML laws, Central Bank regulations, and international standards such as FATF recommendations.
If you are a finance, compliance, audit, risk, or legal professional looking to advance your career, the MLRO & Anti-Money Laundering Expert Master Class by Legend Educational Services Center Dubai is your pathway to becoming a recognized compliance professional in the UAE.
