ACA Group

ACA Group is a global provider of regulatory compliance, AML consulting and outsourcing, including outsourced MLRO and Compliance Officer services in the UAE. The company was founded in 2002.

Services The listed services are AML advisory and outsourcing, regulatory compliance, compliance operations, outsourced MLRO or Compliance Officer roles, licensing support, and policies and training. An outsourced MLRO means an external specialist carries the money-laundering reporting role for a regulated firm, which is common where a local appointed officer is required.

Jurisdictions Stated markets are the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Singapore and the UAE.

Who it suits The mix of licensing support and ongoing compliance operations fits firms entering a new regulated market that need help with an application and then with day-to-day obligations. Fees, team size and sector focus are not listed, so request a scope of work and confirm which regulator-specific roles, such as MLRO in the UAE, are covered under which entity.
