Description:
Sanctions evasion schemes represent a major threat to the international financial system and increasingly have been an area of focus for international regulators. The Financial Action Task Force also highlights complex proliferation financing and sanctions evasion schemes, where sanctions evasion can be linked to procurement of weapons of mass destruction of sanctioned states, and more recently are connected to the evasion of Russian sanctions and even sanctions against drug cartels.
In this webinar, we will be discussing the landscape we are currently working in with respect to the monitoring and detecting of sanctions evasions, the challenges of the regulatory landscape, some real life examples of sanctions evasion cases and the red flags detected and how new tools and technological developments can assist with the prevention and detection of sanctions evasion.
