Sanctions Evasion Risk: Emerging Issues, Trends and Typologies

Sanctions compliance is becoming more complex than identifying a name on a screening list.

In this AML Grey Matters webinar, Michael Huneke and Brent Carlson examine emerging sanctions-evasion risks, recent enforcement developments and when firms may need to look beyond formal ownership thresholds and counterparty certifications.

The discussion covers:

• Emerging sanctions-evasion methods and typologies
• Trusts, layered ownership structures and OFAC’s 50% Rule
• What “knowledge” and “reason to know” can mean in practice
• US, EU and UK approaches to sanctions circumvention
• Cayman’s new Compliance Rule 8.2(f)
• Identifying and documenting higher-probability risks

Watch the recording to explore recent cases, practical warning signs and how compliance teams can take a more risk-based approach to sanctions due diligence.
