Sanctions Compliance

We assess sanctions exposure across counterparties, ownership and control, banks, payments, goods and contractual obligations.

Two types of work

A transaction decision and a recurring compliance system require different scopes

The practice covers both defined reviews and the wider controls needed when sanctions risk recurs.

A defined counterparty, transaction, subject matter, payment route and contractual response.

Policies, escalation, contractual safeguards, bank issues, compliance programmes and remediation where supported.

Sanctions review layers

A defensible position is built by testing the parties, transaction, payment route and contractual response together.

Counterparties, beneficial ownership, control and connected persons.

Goods, services, technology, destination, end use and end users.

Currency, institutions, intermediaries and documentary expectations.

The jurisdictions and measures capable of affecting performance.

Evidence, notice, lawful alternatives, suspension and consequences.
