Practical Strategies to Manage Circumvention Risk across a Rapidly Evolving Landscape

Sanctions and export/trade restrictions are changing at speed. Controls are evolving, and institutions must transition from legacy, list centric frameworks to proactive, intelligence led approaches that can detect activity-based circumvention and indirect facilitation.

Watch the first chapter of our webinar series “*From Alerts to Answers*” where industry-leading experts from National Australia Bank, Fintrail, and Quantexa will discuss the shifting regulatory environment, the institutional adaptation of control frameworks, and the opportunities and risks of AI and advanced analytics in sanctions compliance.

During this webinar, you'll learn more about:

- Regulatory shifts: How rapid changes in sanctions, export controls, and trade restrictions reshape expectations for financial institutions.

- Where controls fall short: The key gaps in list based screening and how to strengthen frameworks with additional intelligence and due diligence measures.

- Proactive detection: How connected data, behavioral insight, network analytics, and AI reveal circumvention patterns traditional controls miss.

- Operating model impact: What changes for teams in terms of skills, processes, auditability, and engagement with regulators, as analytics led approaches mature.
