ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

The Sanctions landscape has changed significantly over the past month, with different AML/CTF obligations that each and every business must comply with.  Professionals need to know how to deal with the increasing complexity.

One of the basic controls needed to manage Sanctions risk, is Sanctions Screening.  Sanctions Screening includes the screening (or sometimes called filtering) of transactions against relevant lists but also the screening of customers, third parties and other relevant names.

The set-up of effective Sanctions Screening is important and includes numerous considerations like what the relevant lists to screen against are, who is responsible and how to assess hits against the lists?
