Session description
With sanctions measures rising by 16% annually and screening teams experiencing a 400% increase in workloads since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, sanctions-busting activities and circumvention have surged as affected entities seek to operate undetected. This, combined with the proliferation of sector and trade sanctions, has rendered standard list-based screening solutions insufficient. In this session, Alan Brown, CTO at Aptitude Global, and Suzie Ogilvie, Sanctions and Financial Crime expert at Ogiro Risk, will demonstrate how entity resolved knowledge graphs, graph investigation tools, and third-party data are crucial for identifying sanctions red flags that standard industry tools would miss.
