Event Details

Recent unprecedented events in Ukraine have prompted one of the strongest sanctions reactions by the U.S. government in recent history. As new sanctions announcements by the U.S. and other countries continue to be announced, businesses, supply chains, financial systems, and large swaths of the global economy are greatly affected. But, what will be the greatest impact of these sanctions regimes on the Asia Pacific region?

Please join us for a special webinar presentation with preeminent sanctions subject matter experts Josh Shrager of Kharon for an in-depth presentation on the impact of Russia/Ukraine sanctions in the APAC region. An expert in sanctions compliance, Josh is a former U.S. Treasury and State Department official with vast experience in sanctions and illicit financial activity policies. Please join us for the rare chance to hear from true experts on the impact of Russia/Ukraine sanctions in the APAC region.

Topics covered will include:

Preparing for what lies ahead
Assessing risk
Global best practices in mitigating financial crimes and trade compliance
Geopolitical impacts in the Asia Pacific region
Sharing of insights gleaned from investigative research across the Russia milieu and larger business environment
