When a potential sanctions issue surfaces, every minute—and every decision—matters. This advanced, threehour workshop provides a full endtoend roadmap for navigating one of the higheststakes moments in compliance: identifying, investigating, and responding to a sanctions breach.

Through practical guidance and realworld insights, the session will walk participants through the critical first steps, the mechanics of conducting a defensible sanctions investigation, and the strategic considerations that shape both immediate containment and longterm remediation, including:

  • What are the first steps to take when you identify an issue?
  • How to conduct a sanctions investigation.
  • What are important considerations for immediate and long-term response?
  • Should you voluntarily self-disclose it?  If so, how should you structure the VSD?
  • What does OFAC now look at when evaluating issues that they find out about?
