- Sanctions risk is
becoming increasingly complex due to geopolitical instability and
fragmented global regimes
- Governance should
underpin every aspect of non-financial risk management across the
enterprise
- Structured,
high-quality data is essential because poor data accelerates risk and
control failures
- Organizations should
break down silos between sanctions, financial crime, fraud, and
operational risk
- Horizon scanning and network-level intelligence can help identify emerging threats before they escalate
- Third- and fourth-party oversight should form part of an integrated enterprise risk framework
