Building Robust Compliance and Governance Frameworks across financial and non-financial sectors—From Strategy to Execution
Our services
At GMA Consultancy, we integrate regional regulatory insight, sector-specific expertise, and analytical rigor to design and implement control frameworks that meet the highest international compliance standards. Our services support institutions in establishing robust AML/CFT, sanctions, governance, and risk-management systems that are measurable, efficient, and fully aligned with supervisory expectations. We help clients build governance cultures grounded in effective oversight, sustainable controls, and consistent regulatory conformity—ensuring compliance functions operate as reliable, strategic components of institutional resilience.
AML / CFT & Sanctions Programs
Build and implement frameworks aligned with the latest standards—risk assessments, controls, policies, reporting and monitoring to mitigate money-laundering, terrorist-financing and sanctions risks.
Regulatory Readiness & Gap Closure
Assess your current compliance state, identify regulatory or supervisory gaps and implement practical remediation road-maps to ensure readiness for inspections or evaluations.
Governance, Risk Management & Internal Controls
Enhance your governance effectiveness, clarify oversight roles, define risk appetite, and strengthen internal controls to ensure operations are aligned with strategy and compliance.
Data Protection & Privacy Compliance
Map your data flows, implement data-protection policies, ensure personal data is managed securely, and train staff to minimise risk of breaches and regulatory notification obligations.
More Services
Support for Non-Financial Businesses & Professions (NFBPs), NGOs, Law Firms & Accountants
Provide specialised AML/CFT advisory to non-financial sectors subject to regulatory oversight. We assist institutions in identifying their compliance risk exposure, conducting structured risk assessments, and developing a detailed action plan to mitigate identified risks. Our support ensures full alignment with applicable regulations while helping organisations build strong compliance cultures and establish effective governance, control mechanisms, and reporting frameworks.
We also support NGOs, notaries, lawyers, and accountants in designing and submitting required reports to their supervisory authorities; advise on how to effectively respond to banks’ compliance-related enquiries to maintain access to financial services; and conduct independent review reports on funds and donations to ensure they are used for their intended purpose while mitigating risks of embezzlement, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes.
Sanctions Screening & Due Diligence
Enable institutions to conduct real-time sanctions checks through secure online screening tools, or rely on GMA Consultancy to perform onboarding and ongoing screening on their behalf. Our service ensures comprehensive verification of clients, suppliers, and third-party service providers against local and international sanctions lists—delivering accurate, timely, and regulator-aligned results that strengthen your due-diligence framework and reduce exposure to financial-crime risks.
Capacity Building & Training
Strengthen institutional competence through targeted training for leadership, compliance officers, and staff. We deliver customized technical programs across AML/CFT, sanctions, governance, and financial-crime prevention—built around each institution’s specific risk profile and operational needs. Our services also include assessing the analytical and problem-solving capabilities of candidates for senior compliance roles, ensuring that critical functions are led by qualified and capable professionals.
Policy Development & Regulatory Reporting
Draft or refine your policies and procedures, standardise reporting requirements, implement monitoring frameworks and ensure transparency with regulators and auditors.
Bank Account Onboarding Support
Assist clients in preparing complete, compliant, and institution-ready documentation required for opening and maintaining bank accounts. This includes validating KYC information, supporting due-diligence responses, ensuring alignment with AML/CFT and sanctions requirements, and guiding customers through bank-specific onboarding expectations. Our support streamlines the account-opening process, reduces the risk of rejection or delay, and enhances the client’s ability to meet evolving regulatory standards.
Banking Relationship Support
Provide corporates and private sector clients with end-to-end support in managing compliance-related banking obligations. This includes overseeing onboarding due diligence, preparing and validating compliance documentation, and drafting timely, accurate responses to banks’ and correspondent banks’ compliance enquiries. Our service strengthens transparency, ensures adherence to regulatory expectations, and enhances the client’s credibility with financial institutions—facilitating smoother, more resilient banking relationships.
Digital Compliance Review Service
Your website and social media platforms are the first point of contact for regulators, correspondent banks, institutional investors, and due diligence teams. An absent AML statement, an undisclosed sanctions compliance position, or a missing privacy policy communicates — regardless of intent — that governance is not a priority. The consequences are real: correspondent banking relationship refusals, failed due diligence assessments, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and loss of investor confidence.
GMA’s Digital Compliance Review Service provides organizations with a professional review of their full digital presence from a compliance perspective. We assess every page of the client’s website and all active social media platforms, identify missing documents, statements, and policies that regulators and international counterparts expect to find, and draft or amend each item to meet applicable regulatory requirements and international best practice standards — including FATF Recommendations, Wolfsberg Group guidance, GDPR, and applicable sector-specific frameworks.
Upon completion, clients receive a Digital Compliance Review Report detailing all identified gaps and risks, a complete set of publication-ready governance documents, and a platform-by-platform Implementation Guide specifying where each document should be published and at what level of prominence.
Platform Privacy Intelligence & Terms Analysis
Every time your organization uses a digital platform or application, you agree to its terms of service. Most organizations never read them. GMA’s Platform Privacy Intelligence & Terms Analysis service reviews the privacy policies and terms of service of the platforms and applications your organization relies on — translating complex legal language into clear risk findings, IP implications, and data sovereignty analysis.
We assess what data is collected, where it goes, who it is shared with, whether your content can be used commercially by the platform without your consent, and whether your deletion and erasure rights are enforceable in practice. Each assessment produces a plain-language, board-ready intelligence brief covering every platform reviewed — from social media channels and video editing tools to AI productivity applications and communication software.
This service is essential for any organization that produces branded content, handles sensitive data, or operates in a regulated environment — and for any institution that wants to understand what it has agreed to before those agreements create consequences it cannot reverse.
AI Governance & Integration Risk Advisory
Artificial intelligence tools are increasingly embedded in organizational workflows — from document processing and customer screening to diagnostic support and automated decision-making. Most organizations deploy these tools without understanding where their data goes, what rights they have granted the vendor, who is accountable when an AI system produces a harmful or incorrect output, or whether their use of AI is defensible under applicable law.
GMA’s AI Governance & Integration Risk Advisory service helps organizations at every stage of AI adoption — whether currently deploying AI tools, evaluating deployment, or building governance frameworks proactively before adoption accelerates. We map your AI tool usage, assess the data sovereignty and accountability risks of each system, review your vendor agreements, and design the governance infrastructure needed to use AI responsibly: AI policies, human oversight protocols, bias monitoring frameworks, and staff awareness training in English or Arabic.
For healthcare providers, we offer a dedicated healthcare AI advisory covering patient consent for AI-assisted processing, clinical governance protocols, and liability allocation between clinicians, institutions, and AI vendors — the governance framework that applicable regulations do not yet provide but that responsible institutions need now.
Employee & Third-Party Governance Advisory
Every organization is accountable for two relationships it rarely governs to the same written standard: the people who work for it, and the vendors, suppliers, and partners it works with. Codes of conduct name high-level values and stop there; third-party due diligence often exists on paper but runs in one direction only. The result is a governance gap that regulators, institutional clients, and correspondent banks are increasingly quick to notice — and slow to forgive.
GMA’s Employee & Third-Party Governance Advisory closes that gap on both sides. For your workforce, we translate stated values into a single, plain-language document of employee rights and obligations — covering entitlements under local labour law, fair and evidence-based performance review, whistleblowing duties, conflict-of-interest and gift disclosure standards, and the protections employees are owed if their own conduct is ever questioned. For your vendors, suppliers, and strategic partners, we design a governance and due diligence framework — grounded in the UN Global Compact, sanctions compliance, and anti-bribery standards — that is reciprocal rather than one-directional, setting out not only what you require of them, but what they are entitled to expect of you in return, and how to report a concern if that standard is breached. Where relevant, we also help organizations design an accountability structure that reaches leadership itself — addressing the question sophisticated clients and regulators increasingly ask: who protects your standards from the people at the top.
Each engagement is built around the client’s own jurisdiction, sector, and existing policies — never a generic template — and delivered as governance instruments the organization can publish, reference in client and regulator conversations, and stand behind for years, not documents written once and left unread.
