Navigating sanctions screening: strategies for the evolving regulatory landscape

Learn how to navigate the fast-evolving sanctions environment and gain insights into screening processes and compliance measures.

As global sanctions regulations tighten in response to geopolitical shifts, organizations across sectors are facing heightened compliance challenges. While the variety of sanctions regimes may appear similar, differences in key aspects and their dynamic nature demand that businesses remain agile to mitigate risk effectively.

The rise in sanctions-evasion tactics, such as transshipment schemes through third-party countries, has intensified the need for supply chain vigilance and Know Your Transaction (KYT) protocols. With rising enforcement, sanctions screening programs and systems must remain effective and align with evolving global standards to avoid severe legal, financial and reputational risks.

Join us at this exclusive webinar where speakers from the EY organization and key leaders from the Association of Certified Sanctions Specialist (ACSS) as well as industry experts will delve into the strategies to navigate today’s fast-evolving sanctions environment, and offer practical insights into screening processes and compliance measures.
