OFAC Enforcement and Compliance
Now in its fifth successful year, American Conference Institute’s Advanced Forum on OFAC Compliance and Enforcement is widely regarded as the premier benchmarking and networking event for sanctions professionals. This advanced, flagship conference focuses on the most complex, hot button issues that impact global financial, insurance and export transactions.
Big ticket settlements, including JPMorgan, Flowserve, Credit Suisse, Lloyds and Barclays Bank demonstrate the potentially heavy price tag associated with U.S. sanctions violations, as well as the U.S. government’s resolve to aggressively prosecute OFAC violations. Such enforcement activity will undoubtedly continue and underscores the importance of strengthening internal risk-based sanctions compliance programs.
Amid evolving sanctions against Iran, Syria and other regimes, and strict EU sanctions, U.S. and foreign entities with global operations face unprecedented enforcement risks.
The highly sophisticated 2012 agenda is fully updated, featuring a newexpert speaker line-up of senior government officials, industry professionals and private practice experts.
