Qatar
Your obligations in Qatar, and what covers them
Each duty below has a corresponding capability in the platform, and an evidence trail behind it.
Compliance
Core obligations
- Customer due diligence
- Identify and verify every customer and beneficial owner before the relationship begins. Document capture, identity extraction and screening happen in one pass, and the resulting file is the evidence.
- Enhanced due diligence
- Higher-risk relationships, PEPs, high-risk jurisdictions, complex ownership, escalate automatically into an EDD workflow that requires documented senior approval before proceeding.
- Sanctions and PEP screening
- Screen customers, beneficial owners and counterparties against consolidated designations at onboarding and continuously thereafter, with Arabic-aware matching and reviewer sign-off on every hit.
- Ongoing monitoring
- Relationships are kept under review rather than checked once. List changes trigger rescreening, and risk ratings update as the underlying factors move.
- Record keeping
- Screening results, risk rationale, reviewer decisions and document copies are retained for five years by default, exportable at any time as a point-in-time audit pack.
- Suspicious transaction reporting
- Reports are generated with their supporting evidence attached and exported in the format your regulator expects, including goAML-compatible output where the FIU uses it.
