Join our upcoming Zoom Webinar on ‘Sanctions Compliance Excellence Across the Caribbean,’ scheduled for Friday, 28 November, 2025 at 10:00 AM AST or 12:30 PM AST. This session brings together regulators, supervisors, banks, insurers, DNFBPs, and port authorities to translate enforcement trends into concrete controls and supervisory expectations for the region.
Speakers
This session will spotlight the UK’s financial and maritime sanctions regime, with the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) outlining current enforcement priorities. Attendees will gain insight into how OFSI identifies and responds to sanctions evasion risks such as deceptive shipping practices, complex ownership structures, and correspondent banking exposures. The discussion will cover the obligations of financial institutions and DNFBPs when a UK nexus exists, including asset freezes, reporting requirements, and licence processes. This event is designed to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure compliance with sanctions obligations and stay ahead in the evolving regulatory environment. A Certificate of Attendance will be issued for attending the webinar.
