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?
