Sanctions are evolving rapidly, with the potential for significant change overnight. Global instability has made sanctions compliance more complex than ever. What once may have been considered an area of lower priority for some organisations is now critical, as the risk of falling foul of sanctions laws could lead to severe penalties.
In this webinar, we explored how recent shifts in US, UK and EU sanctions policy—particularly in relation to Russia, Iran, and the Middle East—affect businesses globally. We reviewed the key types of sanctions, the political and economic contexts behind them, and discussed how organisations can stay on top of these complex and constantly changing laws.
We also dived into practical steps, from how to conduct sanctions checks to best practices for sanctions screening and reporting. Learn how to conduct a sanctions risk assessment and discover the tools available to help mitigate the risk of sanctions breaches.
