Included Modules:

Sanctions in Latin America: The Basics

Introduces how sanctions work across Latin America, who imposes them, including the UN and bodies like OFAC, and why they affect everyday business decisions.

Embargoes and Sanctions

Explains the difference between broad embargoes and targeted sanctions, who issues them, such as the UN, OFAC, and the EU, and why screening parties matters.

Sanctions Obligations for Financial Institutions

Covers what banks and financial institutions must do to comply, including screening customers, monitoring transactions, and reporting blocked or rejected payments.

Sanctions Obligations for Non-Financial Organizations

Explains how sanctions apply beyond banks, covering screening of customers, suppliers, and partners so non-financial organizations avoid prohibited dealings and penalties.

Why is this training important?

Sanctions rules shift constantly across Latin America, and one transaction with a blocked party, vessel, or entity can trigger steep fines, frozen assets, and criminal exposure. When your teams know how to screen counterparties, spot red flags, and escalate before a deal closes, you avoid violations that damage your reputation and cut off market access. This training gives employees the practical judgment to keep business moving in the region while staying on the right side of the law.
