The Dubai Financial Services Authority published a thematic review report on conflicts of interest, examining how Authorised Firms in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) identify, manage and mitigate related risks. The report highlights observed good practices alongside areas requiring improvement, and expects firms to ensure their conflicts of interest systems and controls are sufficiently robust, appropriately documented and proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of their business. The review assessed 710 firms across a range of sectors and business models and forms part of the DFSA’s broader supervisory work on maintaining best practices and protecting clients’ interests as financial services activity in the DIFC grows.
