Course Description
Most organizations have the legal obligation to comply with the sanctions imposed by their jurisdiction on other countries and must monitor, report, freeze assets and prevent transfers accordingly. Organizations are not allowed to do business with certain sanctiond countries or individuals. Therefore, organizations must know which individuals, entities and countries are subject to sanctions and must not conduct any transactions involving sanctioned parties.
Sanctions, while not directly part of anti-money laundering, are handled very similarly and are therefore usually a part of the AML process. Many process steps, especially screening is very similar to PEP and negative news screening during customer due diligence and know-your-customer (KYC) checks
The staggering total of 8.9 billion US dollars is the biggest penalty ever imposed for sanctions violations. Given this, it makes sense that many businesses and people are becoming increasingly cautious about breaking sanctions laws. This online training is excellent and highly recommended for those who wish to gain and display specialist expertise in sanctions compliance and anti-financial crime because it is fairly comprehensive. This online program is a terrific opportunity for professionals to improve their value through a better grasp of financial crime and sanctions compliance because this topic is so crucial.
This certificate program is a middle-level training that consists of five modules on corporate risk management, compliance, and anti-financial crime duties, as well as in a setting where sanctions compliance is required.
