Wednesday 12 August 2026 | Sanctions compliance is under increasing pressure. Geopolitical tensions, expanded multilateral regimes and stricter enforcement have raised the stakes for organisations operating across borders.
From Russia and Iran to emerging focus areas such as technology controls, export restrictions and financial sanctions, regulators are demanding more robust frameworks, better due diligence and faster reactions to evolving lists and designations.
In this webinar, we explored the latest developments in global sanctions regulation, enforcement trends and practical steps your company can take for effective compliance.
We analysed key cases and fines from the past year, the growing reach of secondary sanctions, the interaction between sanctions and AML/CFT obligations, and how technology is reshaping monitoring and screening. We discussed what businesses must be doing now to manage risk, respond to regulatory scrutiny and build resilient compliance programmes.
Vinciworks’ sanctions and financial crime experts delivered a timely, practical session on navigating sanctions risk.
