Key regulatory and sanctions developments compliance teams should be aware of this month.
Increased Monitoring List Updated
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iraq were added to increased monitoring, while Algeria and Namibia were removed.
Compliance teams should review country risk assessments and enhanced due diligence triggers.
UK Enforcement Focus Remains High
Recent enforcement activity shows that UK sanctions compliance expectations continue to extend beyond initial screening.
Firms should evidence payment controls, escalation procedures and ongoing monitoring.
Ownership and Control Remain Key
US sanctions compliance continues to place emphasis on indirect ownership, control and beneficial ownership exposure.
Screening should include ownership structures, not only direct customer names.
Global Lists Require Ongoing Review
International sanctions measures continue to change frequently across jurisdictions.
Regulated firms should ensure list updates and customer monitoring are not manual or occasional.
Review customers connected to jurisdictions recently added to FATF increased monitoring and document any enhanced due diligence decisions.
Why Screening Once Is Not Enough
Ongoing monitoring is not just a product feature. It is a control framework that helps compliance teams evidence how risk is identified, reviewed and managed over time.
“Risk changes after onboarding. Your compliance controls should change with it.”
Ongoing monitoring is not just a product feature. It is a control framework that helps compliance teams evidence how risk is identified, reviewed and managed over time.
