Scaling Sanctions Programs Without Increasing Compliance Spend – Is It Possible?

Russia Ukraine SCP

The last eight weeks have seen new sanctions issued at a breakneck pace.

Implementing these new sanctions programs, and dealing with the ever increasing volumes of sanctions alerts that come with these new programs, can have huge repercussions for businesses who aren’t equipped to deal with this new normal. Lately, the result has been overburdened teams, the potential for needlessly blocked customers, and the risk of regulatory fines.
