Training Objectives

The seminar will provide participants with an opportunity to explore the recent global trends in economic sanctioning, the motives and rationale behind such decisions, the resulting effects and the consequences experienced not only by the targeted parties but also those doing business with them, either directly or indirectly.

The risk of non-compliance by all related parties needs to be timely projected and managed and this seminar will enable for such projections to be carried out in a more meticulous manner while assisting professionals in how to better manage sanctions risk.
