to the respective law

while an Austrian company should not.
14. • You are legally required to comply with applicable sanctions
• Independent assurance of compliance is required (regardless of how)
• Each individual company is responsible for implementing such assurance
• Internal processes must be defined according to company-specific structures
• There is no standard format for Internal Compliance Programs (ICP) – but various
authorities make guidelines available (learn more here)
• Both overregulating and underregulating is to be avoided
• Automated sanction lists screening is acknowledged by authorities as
the effective way to ensure compliance with financial sanctions
