Independent Non-Executive Director Services in the UAE
Waystone Compliance Solutions provides specialist services to clients across the whole financial services spectrum, offering high-quality, corporate governance through experienced, independent professionals, supported by advanced governance technology.
Increasingly, we are aware that both the FSRA and the DFSA are requiring that firms seeking a regulatory licence in the ADGM or DIFC respectively, appoint an Independent Non-Executive Director to the board of locally incorporated entities. Our regional team of dedicated compliance professionals, based in the UAE, have been providing compliance and regulatory services in the Middle East for over fifteen years, guiding companies through the complexities of financial services regulation.
This service will provide Independent Non-Executive Directors to UAE regulated financial institutions and will include the following:
- preparation for, and attendance at, four board meetings per year
- providing regulatory and strategic business advice on a broad range of issues
- providing additional ad hoc support to the Board on request, subject to an additional fee.
Please note that, for conflict management purposes, and to ensure independence, we cannot provide such services to firms that we are currently, or have been within the two prior years, providing other outsourced services.
A unique service offering
Our team of Independent Non-Executive Directors comprises our most senior consultants, offering extensive experience operating in C-Level capacities in firms both in the region and internationally.
