Over the past year, the coordination between the EU, UK, and U.S. has been historic. While the alignment has been strong, and many broad sanctions policies overlap, there are varied nuances that complicate compliance. This workshop will provide best practices for incorporating the finer points of EU, UK, and US sanctions restrictions, to ensure broad compliance and effective screening across the board.

• The core elements of a strengthened sanctions compliance and screening programmes
• Detecting and addressing programme weak spots
• Dovetailing differing U.S., UK and EU requirements into an effective, updated programme
• Analysing the differences in the scale and pace of sanctions targets by the EU, UK, and US
• Navigating how the U.K. focus on sanctions targets outside of government diverges slightly from EU and US areas of focus
• Understanding the key differences in ownership versus control when it comes to the divergence in sanctioning non-listed entities
• Differences in the scope and location restrictions on investment bans by the EU, UK and US
• The finer points of seeking authorisations and licences from EU, UK, and US authorities
