ACSS Webinar

Sanctions and export control issues continue to pose challenges for companies. Political developments such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sanctions evasion through digital currencies, and uncertainty about the future of Iran sanctions demonstrate the need to stay on top of daily developments.

Complying with rapidly changing sanctions and export regulations is a highly complex undertaking. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the regulations, particularly if only one or two people in a business are responsible for overseeing compliance efforts.

Ultimately, the decision to implement changes in your organization’s compliance program depends on the decisions of the responsible individuals. Mistakes happen in such a rapidly changing compliance landscape.

In this webinar, we will discuss the Top 10 Missteps in Sanctions & Export Control Compliance of 2022.
