The DFSA operates a risk-based supervision framework.
The DFSA monitors compliance with the Laws and Rules including provisions relating to anti-money laundering. It supervises Authorised Firms, Authorised Market Institutions, Authorised Individuals and Ancillary Service Providers.
The DFSA also undertakes market monitoring and research in order to identify, assess and address any developments either within or outside the DIFC which may pose a risk to the centre or a particular section of the DIFC community.
