DFSA Conduct Rules vs Licensing Thresholds Summary

I am focusing heavily on the UAE FRR module and trying to distinguish between the core principles found within the DFSA Rulebook compared to the overarching regulatory framework. I recall reading through the explanatory notes for the CME-1 exam but struggle to understand exactly how the Four Pillars of the DFSA align with specific conduct rules regarding who needs a license. My firm assists many expatriate executives with portfolios containing mixed UK and local assets, so understanding the nuances of the DFSA conduct requirements is vital for my daily role. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to find the best summary tables to memorize these regulatory thresholds before the exam?

IICWIM groups the conduct duties into the four pillars very neatly. I struggled to differentiate the exchange services principles from the ICWIM ones initially.

I will tell you right now that ignoring the ICWIM threshold details will prevent you from securing a salary above 18k AED. You must master the Four Pillars for the DFSA rules quickly because that is the only way you will pass the interview and get the big financial package.
