Objectives:
Learn more about managing sanctions risk from 3 conflict zones: Syria, Yemen and Libya. Kharon experts will provide you with an overview of the relevant guidance and international best practices, recent developments and enforcement actions, and real-life case studies that demonstrate the most up-to-date risk typologies relevant to identifying and managing risk in connection with these three states. You will leave the session with a better understanding of how to identify, manage, and mitigate risks emanating from these ongoing conflict zones. This training is appropriate for compliance, legal and business professionals involved with managing, supporting, financing, or conducting international commerce in the Middle East and Africa.
About Kharon: Founded and led by former senior officials from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Kharon’s mission is to provide the most comprehensive and reliable way to identify, understand, and mitigate exposure to sanctioned networks and jurisdictions for financial institutions and corporates. Kharon goes far beyond the government sanctions lists to identify the networks of supporters and facilitators surrounding sanctioned actors that may also pose threats to global security, financial crime compliance and trade control frameworks, and reputations. Kharon enables firms to proactively identify and manage this otherwise hidden risk.
