As evasion techniques become increasingly sophisticated and complex, companies and financial institutions must keep up with the newest red flags, conduct enhanced due diligence, and leverage advanced data analytics to stay ahead of bad actors.

During this deep-dive workshop, attendees will benefit from a step-by-step practical roadmap on how to identify and address actual or suspected schemes, including the lesser-known red flags and how to detect them in real time.

Key topics include:

• How bad actors are leveraging indirect routes, shell companies and third-party intermediaries to circumvent sanctions
• Identifying red flags in cases of complex corporate structures used to obscure ownership, source of funds, or the involvement of other sanctioned countries
• An update on the latest criminal and civil enforcement and designation actions
• Best practices for investigating a sanctions breach, including managing frozen assets
• Addressing the circumvention of export controls to facilitate the transfer of sensitive goods into Russia and other key hot spots
• Identifying red flags in complex corporate structures, shell companies, and third-party intermediaries
• Strengthening internal compliance frameworks to detect and mitigate circumvention risks early
