  • Sanctions should be managed within a broader enterprise-wide non-financial risk framework
  • Geopolitical volatility and fragmented sanctions regimes are increasing operational complexity
  • Firms should break down silos between financial crime, operational risk, governance and technology
  • Strong governance, structured data and clear risk appetite statements underpin effective sanctions management
  • Horizon scanning and network-level analysis help identify emerging threats before they materialize
  • Future resilience depends on integrated risk management rather than isolated compliance controls
