Ever wonder how the sausage is made around economic and trade sanctions? What is the process for persons and companies to be put on the sanctioned lists? Then this is the podcast for you as I am joined by Eric Lorber.
Eric is a vice president at K2 Intelligence Financial Integrity Network, where he advises global financial institutions on issues related to sanctions and anti-money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism compliance. Prior to re-joining FIN, Eric was a senior advisor to the Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the United States Department of the Treasury, where he provided strategic guidance on U.S. sanctions and AML/CFT policies.
