Recap- Sanctions & Watchlist Screening - Global Best Practices & Testing Methods

In today’s environment of frequent sanctions updates and expanding watchlists, even small gaps in the screening process can translate into significant compliance exposure.

Our recent webinar on “Sanctions and Watchlist Screening: Global Best Practices and Testing Methods” brought together key perspectives on how organisations can strengthen their screening systems in line with the advancing regulatory expectations.

The session was led by our Founder, Vasantha Mohan, and Principal Compliance Architect, Sridhar Rajam, who shared the practical insights about screening best practices and testing methods.

The key highlights from the session were:

• Global expectations for sanctions and watchlist screening
• Designing an effective and risk-aligned screening programme
• Strengthening controls through proper testing approaches
• Identifying and addressing common gaps that lead to missed risks
• Implementing a practical 30-60-90 day improvement plan

It was a successful session that reinforced one message: screening is all about how well you design, test, and continuously evolve your controls for better compliance.
