Part 2: Escalation, Enforcement, and AI-Driven Sanctions Risk
Course Description:
Once you’ve built the basics, it’s time to sharpen your judgment. This session focuses on escalation, enforcement risk, and internal ownership—especially for lean teams managing sanctions across payments, onboarding, crypto flows, and vendor relationships. We’ll walk through real-world scenarios, explore what regulators expect, and help you document decisions that stand up to scrutiny. We’ll also explore how AI is being used to detect circumvention, flag deceptive patterns, and support real-time screening—along with the governance questions that come with it.
Who Should Attend:
Mid-level and senior compliance professionals, risk leads, and BSA/AML officers at fintechs, MSBs, banks, and crypto firms.
Agenda Highlights:
What to escalate (and what not to): red flags, ownership thresholds, circumvention
Internal roles and responsibilities: who owns what in sanctions compliance
Enforcement risk: what regulators actually look for
Documentation and audit trail best practices
AI in sanctions: screening, behavioral analytics, and governance
Scenario-based decision-making: block, reject, report
Learning Outcomes:
Strengthen escalation protocols and internal ownership
Document sanctions decisions with clarity and defensibility
Reduce enforcement and reputational risk through practical safeguards
Apply sanctions concepts to real-world fintech, MSB, and crypto operations
Understand how AI is shaping sanctions detection—and what compliance teams must watch for
Note: This program meets the eligibility criteria for continuing education under ACFCS and is eligible for 1 credit.
