Understanding Economic Sanctions for Banks & Financial Institutions Live Webcast

Jersey City, NJ, March 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- An increasingly complex global marketplace and increasing expectations by the US government to support foreign policy objectives creates challenges for financial institutions. They must be nimble enough to support their clients' cross border activities while being diligent about the complexities of sanctions regimes, from the US to every jurisdiction in which it operates. The rules governing exports and the challenges of monitoring for vessels and other shipping factors make trade finance especially challenging.

In this Live Webcast, lawyers and other seasoned compliance personnel will provide insight on the hidden risk that even a seemingly innocent money transfer can trigger severe regulatory consequences, along with training and other best practices for managing that risk.

Gerard (Jerry) W. LiVigni, Senior Compliance Officer, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), U.S. Department of the Treasury

Alison Clew, Principal, Forensic & Dispute Services, Deloitte Financial Advisory Services LLP
