ICA CERTIFICATE IN MANAGING SANCTIONS RISK Sanctions can be complex, and dealing with sanctioned parties can be risky. National or international sanctions may be issued against individuals, entities, groups or nations; or even trading activities/particular sectors. Those bodies charged with enforcing sanctions compliance are particularly active at the moment, with multiple fines for firms in recent years stretching into billions of dollars. Suitable for those working in financial crime and regulatory compliance, this could help you: * understand sanctions and the international context * discover the screening systems and controls * define a sanctions governance framework * manage alert investigations * learn the challenges of change and the cost of getting it wrong This course is awarded in association with Alliance Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester. There are many benefits of studying with ICA: * Flexible learning solutions that are suited to you * Our learner-centric approach means that you will gain relevant practical and academic skills and knowledge that can be used in your current role * Improve your career options by undertaking a globally recognised qualification that hiring managers look for as part of their hiring criteria * Many students have stated that they have received a promotion and/or pay rise as a direct result of gaining their qualification * The qualifications ensure that you are enabled to develop strategies to help manage and prevent risk within your firm, thus making you an invaluable asset within the current climate Students who successfully complete the course will be awarded the ICA Certificate in Managing Sanctions Risk and will be entitled to use the designation- Spec.Cert(Sanctions) This qualification is awarded in association with Alliance Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester. This course provides Participants with a detailed understanding of the following topics: * Understanding sanctions * The international context * Defining a sanctions governance framework * Sanctions lists and screening * Managing alert investigations * The cost of getting it wrong * The challenges of change
