Sanctions Compliance Foundations
Get Started with Sanctions
Sanctions compliance is a fundamental element of a robust and effective financial crime prevention program. Breaches of sanctions regulations can result in substantial financial penalties and reputational damage. To remain compliant, you need to understand how regulations impact your organization and the steps you can take to mitigate sanctions risks.
The ACAMS Sanctions Compliance course is a four-hour online certificate course, providing an essential overview of sanctions compliance. The course will introduce you to the principles underpinning a successful sanctions compliance program and help you to understand your own unique risk and the controls that need to be applied.
This course is also available in French, Korean, and Spanish.
