What is the Cross-Functional Sanctions Compliance course about?
Sanctions compliance is no longer just a legal or finance concern, it spans procurement, engineering, data, and security. Audit teams are increasingly asked to verify cross-functional adherence but lack standardized, scalable methods to assess, document, and report findings. Without a unified framework, audits become reactive, inconsistent, and resource-intensive.
