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. He is also the senior director of the Center of Economic and Financial Power at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Some of the highlights include:
- What is the process for creation of economic sanctions?
- How does an individual or corporation go on the economic sanctions list?
- What is the role of the DOJ?
- Who at Treasury leads the effort?
- What is the process for enforcement?
- Why does Treasury have such an ongoing educational effort around sanctions?
In this introductory episode, Compliance Kitchen host Silvia Surnam welcomes you to “See What’s Cooking” in the Compliance Kitchen. The Compliance Kitchen was launched after many moons of texts, calls, chats and coffee outings that went something like this:
- Hey, can my friend call you to see what you think about the Russia and Iran sanctions?
- Where would you find support for that export license requirement? Can I call you?
- Do you have a minute? This compliance lawyer told me that an Executive Order is a suggestion of what a law could be, not an actual law. Is that true?
- So if we are not a US company, we can trade with Cuba, right?
- What are secondary sanctions?
- Say, any chance you would know if facilitation payment was more specifically set (dollar amount, for example) in Mexican anti-corruption law?
- What’s a UBO?
- This GDPR thing, that’s just for Europe, right? And we are Safe Harbor certified, so it doesn’t even apply to us – can we chat?
- At a coffee shop one morning: So, what’s cooking in compliance today?
And so the Compliance Kitchen was born. It is here for those who want to “see what’s cooking” in the never-boring worlds of corporate compliance, white collar crime and global trade. We hope that our selection of topics will be of interest and that official resources will be easier to locate. We also hope that you will feel comfortable in the Compliance Kitchen and read on, finding it enjoyable.
