The Sanctions Screening and Investigations Training (SSIT) Programme presents an optimal opportunity for Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-the-Financing of Terrorism (CFT), and financial crime professionals to become fully versed in global sanctions screening and investigations frameworks and practices.

In practice, the underlying simplistic objectives of sanctions screening translate into a highly operationally complex framework of sanctions screening policies, practices, programmes, and technologies, which modern sanctions professionals must be highly adept at not only understanding, but also effectively implementing within both small and larger enterprises.

This requires a highly conversant knowledge of global sanctions frameworks, multi-jurisdictional legislative requirements, automated work-flow management, utilising content-rich user interfaces, and operational knowledge of an array of global sanctions watchlists.

Firms must also be adept at implementing sanctions screening programmes and technologies that provide highly accurate and contextual flags and indicators, whilst also minimising false positive alerts.

The SSIT Programme has been specifically designed and researched in order to train delegates in all the most relevant sanctions areas required by firms, in order to implement and update modern and effective sanctions screening programmes internally.
