Navigating global sanctions regimes — legal frameworks, screening, evasion risks, and compliance programmes.
Awarded by AGRC · Co-branded with LGCA · CPD recognised

The Certificate in Sanctions Compliance builds the theoretical and practical expertise to navigate today’s complex global sanctions landscape — including the targeted “smart” sanctions, asset freezes, and travel bans aimed at political and economic elites. An LIBF-accredited Level 3 certificate, it moves from the legal and institutional foundations of multilateral and unilateral sanctions to the screening, due diligence, and programme design that keep an organisation clear of fines, penalties, and reputational damage.
