The financial regulator inside ADGM
The FSRA rulebook, section by section
Every financial services firm authorised in Abu Dhabi Global Market answers to the Financial Services Regulatory Authority on governance, risk and cyber resilience. We map the rules that apply to your licence to one control set and keep the evidence ready for your next review.
Get ready for your FSRA review
The governance, risk and cybersecurity side of your ADGM licence
FSRA is the independent financial regulator of ADGM.
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority is ADGM's independent regulator. Its rulebook covers governance, conduct, prudential standards, risk management and AML/CFT, modeled on international practice and applied to firms authorised in Abu Dhabi Global Market. FSRA supervises and inspects each firm against the rules for its licence type. We map the parts of that rulebook that apply to you, assess whether the controls exist and keep the evidence current.
Reporting window: ADGM FSRA Cyber Risk Management Framework.
One control set for the FSRA rules that apply to your licence.
Map the FSRA Rulebook to Your Licence
FSRA's complete Rulebook covers governance, risk management, conduct of business, prudential standards, and more. Different license types face different requirements. We map your licence type to the rules that apply, identify where policies, procedures and controls are missing, assign each gap an owner and keep the documented program FSRA inspectors expect. Writing and running the policies stays with your firm.
The requirements for your licence type, the gaps against them and who closes each one.
Document the Governance FSRA Expects
FSRA requires strong governance: clear organizational structure, defined roles and responsibilities, effective board oversight, senior management accountability, and documented decision-making processes. We map those expectations to your structure, record who owns each decision and keep the governance documentation current.
Clear structure. Documented accountability. Effective oversight.
Map Your AML/CFT Program
FSRA sets anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements. You must conduct customer due diligence, screen transactions, file suspicious activity reports, maintain records, and train staff. AccuSights maps the AML/CFT requirements that apply, assesses whether the policies and controls exist, assigns remediation and keeps the documentation. Due diligence, screening and suspicious activity reporting are run by the firm in its own AML systems.
Requirements mapped. Control gaps assessed. FSRA-ready evidence.
Manage Risk According to FSRA Standards
FSRA requires firms to identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate risks systematically. This includes market risk, credit risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, and compliance risk. Your risk management framework must be proportionate to your size and complexity. We map those expectations to your risk framework, assess whether the controls exist and keep the documentation FSRA inspectors review.
Systematic risk management. Proportionate framework. Complete documentation.
Submit Accurate Regulatory Returns On Time
FSRA requires regular regulatory returns covering financial conditions, business activities, and compliance status. AccuSights tracks the return calendar, records what each submission requires and keeps the reporting evidence, turning the deadline from a crisis into a routine. Preparing and submitting the returns stays with the firm.
Deadline tracking. Submission records. Nothing filed on your behalf.
Prepare for FSRA Inspections and Examinations
FSRA conducts regular inspections of regulated firms, examining governance, controls, compliance programs, and business practices. When FSRA arrives, they expect immediate access to policies, procedures, risk assessments, meeting minutes, and evidence of implementation. We keep that documentation current between visits, so the evidence is ready when FSRA asks for it.
Complete documentation. Instant access. Inspection-ready evidence.
Why ADGM Firms Choose This Approach
What firms get when the rulebook is mapped to one control set.
Firms using our platform:
Rules Mapped to Your Licence
The FSRA rules that apply to your licence type, each mapped to a control with a named owner.
Evidence Kept Current
Policies, risk assessments and board records kept current between reviews instead of rebuilt for each one.
Ready for Inspection
Each control has an owner and current evidence, so an inspector asking for proof gets a document the same day.
Track the Return Calendar
A tracked return calendar and a record of what each submission needs, so no deadline arrives unannounced. The returns are filed by your firm.
Map Your AML Program
Requirements mapped, control gaps assessed and evidence kept, so you can show FSRA what exists and what is still open. We do not screen customers or transactions.
Build Client Trust
FSRA compliance demonstrates commitment to regulatory standards, strengthening relationships with clients who expect the highest level of oversight.
Built for ADGM financial-services compliance and FSRA readiness.
The FSRA rulebook, mapped to controls
The FSRA rulebook is wide. We map it, assess it and keep the record; we do not run it.
The FSRA Rulebook imposes extensive obligations on regulated firms covering governance, conduct, prudential standards, risk management, AML/CFT, and more. Each license type faces specific requirements. We map the obligations that apply to your licence type, assess whether the policies and controls exist, assign remediation and keep the supporting evidence. The regulated functions themselves stay inside your firm.
Each requirement is mapped to a control with an owner and current evidence.
