Overview
As rapidly evolving global sanctions continue to create unprecedented challenges for multinational businesses, managing risk and pursuing opportunity whilst ensuring good relationships with customers, suppliers and service providers becomes a crucial business priority.

- Current global trends.
- Emerging sanctions challenges.
- Role of sanctions authorities.
- Practical steps to manage sanction risks
- Internal and external investigations.
