Surviving a CBUAE / DFSA Inspection: A Practical Playbook

A regulatory inspection in 2026 is no longer a standard document review, it is an aggressive, tech-driven stress test of your operational reality. Supervisors from the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) and the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) have significantly stepped up on-site interventions, moving past written policies to actively audit system algorithms, test staff readiness and penalise weak compliance structures. 

In this tactical, 45-minute session, Complyport UAE director of GRC unpacks a battle-tested playbook for surviving an inspection, showing you exactly how to prepare your systems, coach your personnel and field-test your data lineage so you can confidently demonstrate robust, live compliance under direct regulatory scrutiny.
