Conflict, compliance and complexity: A proportionate response to the Middle East crisis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The crisis in the Middle East is reshaping global business - disrupting supply chains, raising energy costs, increasing cybersecurity threats, and heightening exposure to financial crime risks such as sanctions evasion and TBML.
In this inCONVERSATION episode, Tim Tyler, Vice President, ICA, speaks with Ben Jones, Course Director for Sanctions Compliance, ICA, to unpack the implications for compliance professionals, including:
✅ Sanctions and proliferation‑financing exposure amid rapidly shifting designations
✅Supply chain disruption across the Gulf and global trade routes
✅Trade‑based money laundering risks in a volatile and changing marketplace
✅Cyber‑security threats, including state‑linked intrusions and destructive malware
✅Professional enabler risks, including the potential disposal of wealth
We’ll draw lessons from case studies linked to the Russian invasion of Crimea and the COVID‑19 crisis, exploring how major geopolitical shocks reshape financial‑crime threats and compliance expectations.
A timely, practical discussion for compliance teams navigating a fast‑moving risk environment.
