Every jurisdiction faces its own domestic obstacles around trade and sanctions. Perhaps the most important development over the last 12 months has been Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The international response to the conflict has created significant challenges for individuals, businesses and governments with respect to their dealings in and with the Russian Federation. Sanctions against Russia and Belarus now form a complex, evolving web of trade hazards. Elsewhere, sanctions against countries such as Iran, North Korea and Venezuela add to compliance challenges.

Meanwhile, the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which caused chaos across supply chains, is still being felt, having forced companies to adapt their operations while remaining in compliance with international sanctions programmes. The worsening climate crisis and the rise of cyber crime create additional complications.

It is imperative that compliance professionals have the necessary tools available to ensure their companies can meet and maintain their regulatory obligations.
