Numerous Challenges
Global sanctions, embargoes and other trade restrictions pose significant compliance, regulatory and reputation risk. On an ongoing basis, risk and compliance officers, in consultation with legal advisors, need to determine if their customer and partner data is up-to-date and complete, and if their controls are sufficient to both comply with regulations and keep up with the changing landscape.
Financial institutions need to understand the impact of sanctions and trade restrictions on their businesses, especially in times of crisis when they must respond very quickly to complex and evolving requirements.
