# ADGM FSRA Finalises Enhancements to its Anti-Money Laundering Framework

The FSRA of Abu Dhabi Global Market has finalised updates to its AML, counter-terrorist financing, counter-proliferation financing, and sanctions compliance framework, aligning with FATF recommendations and evolving UAE federal law. The amendments revise the Financial Services and Markets Regulations 2015 and the AML Rulebook, with minimal disruption to existing compliance requirements. For SEA-linked boards and mid-market CEOs operating in or accessing Gulf capital markets, this signals tightening board-level compliance oversight obligations across cross-border financial hubs.
