1 May 2025 MBK Auditing L.L.CFSRA (ADGM): allegedly USD 14,080 on audit firm MBK Auditing for AML failings United Arab EmiratesCustomer due diligence €12,380

From September 2022 to November 2023 the audit firm registered in ADGM, subject to AML duties as a DNFBP, lacked an adequate business risk assessment, did not sufficiently examine customers' ownership structures and businesses, omitted a customer risk assessment in one case and did not appoint a new MLRO in time. After a 20% discount for early settlement the FSRA allegedly imposed USD 14,080 (otherwise USD 17,600).

What organisations can take from it

Audit firms, as obliged entities, must also maintain their own risk assessment, customer due diligence and an MLRO.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
