ACSS Membership Benefits
Russia Sanctions Hub
Economic and trade sanctions against Russia are complex, ever-evolving, and the risks of violation can be high. ACSS members have access to our Russia Sanctions Page that includes updates on Russia sanctions imposed by EU, UK and US, videos, glossaries and comparative cheat sheet on sanctions imposed on Russian banks.
Interactive Sanctions Map
The Interactive Sanctions Map is member-only benefit for ACSS members. It is an interactive tool with an overview with sanctions in place against countries around the world. It covers EU, US (OFAC), Canada and UN sanctions. Find out which specific sanctions are in place against a country by clicking on the continent and then on the country.
Webinars
Our members have exclusive access to our monthly webinars in which we cover the latest events and answer questions and queries from the attendees. You can enjoy the webinars Live and On demand from the comfort of your home or office.
OFAC Enforcement Actions Database
ACSS Members get access to a unique premium resource built by ACSS: a searchable database of 900+ OFAC enforcement actions, across industries, with access to the PDFs of settlement letters.
Official Guidance Library
The ACSS member-only resource library contains guidance on sanctions from government agencies, international organizations, and universities and institutes around the world. The documents posted here do not include sanctions regimes or actions themselves; instead, these are publications of information intended to provide clarity regarding the implementation of sanctions.
SanctionsConnect Calls
SanctionsConnect is an opportunity for ACSS members to join a discussion with industry experts on a monthly hot sanctions topic. The Call is conducted by an expert in the field who sets the stage and then invites participants to contribute to the conversation. It is a members-only, intimate conversation that enriches your connections and knowledge of specific sanctions topics.
Online Discussion Forum
Part of the ACSS member benefits is belonging to a Sanctions Discussion Group. Whether you are a starting or seasoned sanctions professional, the ACSS forum will help you get and stay connected to a network of resources you can rely on throughout the year. Leverage a community of ACSS members who can provide answers to your questions, share their experiences and recommend experts to help address your needs.
