ACSS Training Taskforce
Europe
Our Mission
It is the goal of the ACSS European Training Taskforce to identify and discuss the evolving trends in sanctions and trade controls in Continental Europe and the UK as well as to develop and keep up-to-date ACSS training programs that help sanctions professionals increase their competency and assist businesses to understand their sanctions risks.
To this end, the European Training Taskforce members share and contribute subject matter expertise and best practices from their respective industry viewpoints to identify current and emerging trends in sanctions-related risks, regulatory developments, and operational challenges. The members of the Taskforce play a vital role in developing, enhancing, and keeping current all training content offered by the ACSS. This can include webinars, courses, our Certification exams, or any other training that the ACSS offers.
