Outsourced Compliance Officer FAQs

What is an outsourced compliance officer?

An outsourced compliance officer (CO) is a third-party professional appointed to oversee regulatory compliance on behalf of your company, often as a “named individual” as per ADGM or DIFC regulations.

What’s the difference between a CO and MLRO?

A Compliance Officer ensures general regulatory adherence, while an MLRO is specifically responsible for anti-money laundering reporting and controls. We provide both roles through our outsourced services.

When do I need to appoint a compliance officer in the UAE?

If you are a regulated entity in ADGM or DIFC, appointing a compliance officer is often a licensing condition. Our outsourced solution ensures fast and cost-efficient compliance set-up.
