Everyone checks the FATF list; almost nobody records the EU tax-jurisdiction list with a date. That's the UAE file that gets rejected in review.
Four lists decide the country-risk section: FATF's call-for-action and increased-monitoring lists, the EU's high-risk third-country list, and Annex I of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions. They move several times a year, so the date you checked matters as much as the status. Most files capture one or two lists and leave the date off entirely.
This week, pull every file touching the UAE and confirm all four lists are recorded, each with the date you verified.
