What Comply does

Your compliance manager

  • What applies, worked out

    Obligations come from your jurisdiction, licence activities, size and sector, using Scope. Each one names the rule it comes from in Lexara.

  • Your year on one calendar

    Licence renewals, VAT and Corporate Tax filings, AML returns and regulator deadlines, with reminders to the person responsible.

  • An owner for every task

    Obligations and controls are assigned to named people, with a record of who did what and when.

  • Evidence linked to the obligation

    Each document is attached to the obligation it satisfies, fingerprinted on arrival and kept in Vault.

  • Your compliance programme

    Policies, risk assessments, the monitoring plan and findings, for compliance managers and MLROs.

  • Reports for management and the board

    Where you stand, what is open and what is due, ready to share. Board items carry into Govern.

Questions

Who is Comply for?

UAE companies of any kind: trading companies keeping up with licences and tax, DNFBPs with AML duties, and firms licensed by a financial regulator.

How does Comply know which obligations apply?

Scope checks your company's jurisdiction, activities, licence type, size and sector against each UAE authority, and shows why each one applies or doesn't.

Does Comply tell us we are compliant?

It shows where you stand against the rules it holds, what is missing and what is due, with the reference for each. It is a working record, not a legal opinion.

Can we manage several companies?

Yes. One account can hold several companies, and the same account works across every Arakan app.

Works with

For companies. The apps share your companies, documents and rules, so nothing is entered twice.
