Target Audience
Trade compliance is no longer confined to legal teams; it’s a shared responsibility across departments that touch international trade, finance, or client relationships. This course is designed for professionals who play a direct or indirect role in ensuring compliance with global sanctions, screening, and cross-border regulations.
- Teams in compliance, risk, finance, and legal functions.
- Import–export, procurement, and logistics professionals.
- Treasury and operations staff handling international transactions.
- Client relationships and business development managers.
- Advisors and consultants supporting multinational trade or sanction compliance.
- Sales and support teams who often engage with clients from regions under sanctions.
What if you don’t comply?
Every firm is accountable for its actions under global trade laws. Failing to train employees or maintain effective compliance procedures doesn’t just invite penalties; it can also expose companies to:
- Asset freezes and blocked transactions across jurisdictions.
- Suspension of export or trading license.
- Criminal prosecution for serious or deliberate breach.
- Regulatory investigations and increased scrutiny from authorities.
