Financial sanctions regulations are complex, varied, and in flux. Harsh prison penalties up to 20-year prison terms and civil money penalties in the billions can be imposed.

  • Sanctions against Russia/Ukraine, Venezuela and Cuba
  • Cyber-related sanctions
  • How to apply the 50% rule
  • Compliance for internet and web-based activities

Close monitoring of transactions to assure they do not involve a sanctioned entity, coupled with effective internal reporting and training, are essential elements of a good sanctions compliance program.

Take this fast-faced interactive 1-hour training, to get the low down on the latest updates, and learn the eight elements of what a good sanctions program should entail, and how to protect your institution.
