Sanctions in Practice: Governance and Compliance

Strengthen your sanctions governance with practical tools for effective screening, risk management and prevention of sanctions evasion.

The sanctions landscape is increasingly complex, shaped by geopolitical tensions, frequent changes to sanctions lists and tightening regulatory requirements. The new AML Package and EBA guidelines introduce new demands on governance, the appointment of a sanctions officer and staff training. This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of current requirements and practical tools to strengthen your organisation's sanctions compliance.
