Compliance

It is the AL-PER's policy to establish a compliance function to maintain compliance with applicable rules and regulations of the DFSA and other regulatory authorities.

The compliance function's activities arise as a result of the responsibilities of advising the Company's directors and senior management on regulatory issues, monitoring employee's adherence to compliance obligations and liaising with the DFSA in this regard. Initially, this function is outsourced to a compliance consultant approved by the DFSA .

The major activities of the compliance function are as follows:

Training: ensure that all Company employees are aware of their compliance obligations. The compliance function will seek to ensure that the compliance manual is kept up to date in light of any changes in DFSA regulations, other regulatory requirements, or the Company's policies.

Authorizing activities: the compliance function's authorization is required for certain activities that are restricted by the DFSA regulation.

Authorizing procedures: ensure that all of the Company's business policies, guidelines, and procedures adhere to current regulations of the DFSA and other authorities. The compliance function is made aware of and will approve all suggested procedural changes. The compliance function may also enforce a change in procedures if this is required.

Monitoring business conduct: responsible for ensuring that the Company abides by the DFSA Conduct of Business rules and that they are applied to all regulated activities of the Company, conduct of employees and for investigating any suspected breaches of rules or regulations. In particular, it carries out formal periodic reviews of the Company's compliance records and procedures and tests a sample of transactions and escalate issues immediately.

Reporting: the compliance function will ensure that prudential reports and notifications are produced accurately and in a timely manner for the DFSA. Internally, the compliance function presents a bi-annual report of compliance issues to the Board of Directors.
