Sanctions Analyst / Global Sanctions Specialist

Are you looking for a practice-oriented and accredited training to develop your knowledge and skills as a Sanctions Analyst / Global Sanctions Specialist? The OSINT training of the International Anti Crime Academy (IACA) offers a unique opportunity to carry out complex international sanctions investigations and investigations into sanctions evasion. Our registered programs, including the innovative OSFINT® (Open Source Financial Intelligence) module, are recognized nationally and internationally by financial institutions, multinational companies and supervisory authorities.

Enforcing and investigating international sanctions requires a combination of legal knowledge, digital skills and analytical insight. Our OSINT training offers the practice-oriented tools and techniques needed to carry out complex sanctions investigations and investigations into sanctions evasion. This includes:

• ✓Using open sources (OSINT) to gather information about organizations, people and transactions.
• ✓Applying OSFINT® to analyze financial information and relationships between (international) entities.
• ✓Monitoring possible breaches of international sanctions legislation and attempts at sanctions evasion.

Our programs are delivered by instructors with extensive experience in international sanctions and financial crime. They hold a CAMS certification (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) and combine in-depth knowledge of OSINT with extensive knowledge of compliance and financial regulation. CAMS is their own professional qualification; the training itself leads to the IACA and SPEN titles listed with the modules. They regularly report findings to OFAC, various supervisory authorities and FIUs.

You work with the sanctions frameworks that matter in practice: the EU regulations, the UN lists and the US OFAC lists, including the SDN list. You learn to screen entities against them, recognize name variants and transliterations and establish the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) behind a structure.

You also practice with the patterns used to evade sanctions: front men and shell companies, transit through third countries, dual-use goods and the shadow fleet. You enrich signals from screening and transaction monitoring with open source research into a file you can explain to your supervisory authority.

The training is built up in modules: you start with the basics of digital intelligence-led investigation and build towards advanced search techniques, monitoring and financial open source research with OSFINT®.

With our Sanctions Analyst / Global Sanctions Specialist training you learn to master complex international regulations and practices around sanctions, including detecting and investigating sanctions evasion. That makes you an indispensable link in meeting international compliance requirements.
