INTERNATIONAL SANCTIONS DUE DILIGENCE

International sanctions due diligence ensures companies are in line with global regulations and avoid transactions with sanctioned entities or individuals.
Understanding Sanctions Requirements:

We help you to identify relevant sanctions laws and regulations from various jurisdictions, including those from the United Nations, European Union, United States (OFAC), and other applicable authorities.

Developing a Sanctions Compliance Program:

We help you establish a robust sanctions compliance program that includes clear policies and procedures for identifying, managing, and reporting potential sanctions risks.

Screening and Monitoring:

We help you devise and implement a screening process to check all relevant parties (customers, suppliers, partners, and employees) against sanctions lists.

We help you identify the software and databases that provide up-to-date information on sanctioned entities to screen your relevant parties against.

Risk Assessment:

We help you conduct a thorough risk assessment to identify areas where your business might be exposed to sanctions risks. This includes evaluating the countries you operate in, the sectors you are involved in, and the nature of your transactions.

Internal Controls and Training:

We help you establish internal controls to ensure compliance with sanctions regulations. This includes segregation of duties, transaction approval workflows, and regular audits.

We can help provide regular training to employees to ensure they understand the importance of sanctions compliance and are aware of the procedures to follow.

Reporting and Record-Keeping:

We help you to maintain detailed records of all due diligence activities, screening results, risk assessments, and any actions taken in response to potential sanctions risks.

We help devise processes that will allow you to report any confirmed matches or suspicious activities to the relevant authorities promptly.

Regular Review and Updates:

We help you to devise processes to regularly review and update the compliance program to reflect changes in sanctions regulations and lessons learned from past experiences.
