Sanctions Compliance program
Description
Our Sanctions Compliance Program (SCP) is designed for regulated entities, however it is suitable for any type of business. It can be customised by following the instructions in the enclosed “Terms of Use-Customisation Instructions” document.
Overview
As per the Directive for compliance with the provisions of UN Security Council Resolutions (Sanctions) and the Decisions/Regulations of the Council of the European Union (Restrictive Measures), a sanctions compliance program should be developed and implemented by all ICPAC members. The sanctions compliance program should be appropriate, adequate, proportionate to firm’s nature and size and effective in order to manage and mitigate the sanctions risks faced by the firm.
An appropriate sanctions compliance program should include, as a minimum, the following:
- The establishment of a sanctions risk assessment
- The development of policies, procedures, systems, and controls
- Screening processes
