Managing Sanctions Risks in Financial Services Masterclass

Online Masterclass | Available Now

Masterclass Overview

How confident are you that your firm would spot a sanctions evasion attempt hidden in an ordinary-looking transaction today?

This highly interactive, instructor-led masterclass has been developed for all risk and compliance professionals who need an advanced, practical understanding of how to identify, assess, and manage financial and non-financial sanctions risks — with a sharp focus on sanctions evasion techniques used by state-level and individual actors.

Developed with the assistance of a former enforcement officer from the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the programme provides a real-world, intelligence-led perspective on sanctions evasion, current typologies, and practical strategies to meet the requirements of UK, EU, and US sanctions authorities.

Drawing on the latest developments across Russia, Iran, DPRK, North Korea, crypto assets, and trade-based evasion, the content is current, practitioner-written, and immediately applicable.
