New Opportunities — New Risks: “Implementation Day”
The day that re-opened trade between Iran and the Western World…..to some extent.
However, the new, lucrative business opportunities in Iran come with risks that traders
must protect against or face debilitating fines.
Government regulators will be on-hand throughout the two day event to answer
questions and clear up ambiguities surrounding the lifting and easing of sanctions
in Iran including:
• Differences between the US and EU easing of sanctions in Iran and what
is and isn’t allowed under each regime
• How and when to use General Licence H
• Key risks of re-entering Iran as an EU company, a US company and a US
foreign subsidiary
The Longer Sanctions are in Place, the Better SDNs
Become at Hiding Ownership and Controlling Interest
Several years after the initial sanctions in Russia, we have seen the Specially
Designated Nationals list grow and witnessed the introduction of sectoral sanctions.
During this time, SDNs have become increasingly clever at hiding their ownership and
controlling interest in companies. Businesses need to strengthen their due diligence
checks and upgrade their internal compliance programme or risk costly violations
• Test your knowledge and share ideas with your peers on how to apply
the 50% rule when trading with Russian and Ukrainian parties and entities
• Share challenges, ideas and concern on how to detect unlisted SDNs
off the record during champagne round tables
Risky Business
There is an inherent risk when trading in regions affected by heavy sanctions.
One stone left unturned could lead to the reputation destroying facilitation of terrorist
financing or the engagement of business with a prohibited party. A wrong move can
lead to profit destroying fines and crippling reputational damage.
Join industry insiders and US prosecutors to discover what you can do to save your
company from ending up in the news for all the wrong reasons. Find out:
• How to conduct an internal sanctions audit and what you need to do with those
findings to insulate your company from unnecessary risks
• What prosecutors expect to see in a comprehensive compliance programme
to decrease the risk of violations
Why you can’t miss our 10th
Anniversary Event
• Hear the very latest on US and EU sanctions regimes and what your company
can and cannot do under each
• Be part of a truly international conference: Network and hear from experts

Join the Conversation @C5Live_Trade #C5Sanctions Anti-Corruption Experts: Networking Group C5Business Information in a Global Context This year marks 30 years since the inception of C5 Group. 30 years expanding across the globe 30 years building a network of industry leaders 30 years hosting more than 6,000 conferences It is time for a brand, logo and language in keeping with the dynamic strides we have made as a company.

Stay tuned for more exciting changes. New Opportunities — New Risks: “Implementation Day” The day that re-opened trade between Iran and the Western World…..to some extent. However, the new, lucrative business opportunities in Iran come with risks that traders must protect against or face debilitating fines. Government regulators will be on-hand throughout the two day event to answer questions and clear up ambiguities surrounding the lifting and easing of sanctions in Iran including: • Differences between the US and EU easing of sanctions in Iran and what is and isn’t allowed under each regime • How and when to use General Licence H • Key risks of re-entering Iran as an EU company, a US company and a US foreign subsidiary The Longer Sanctions are in Place, the Better SDNs Become at Hiding Ownership and Controlling Interest Several years after the initial sanctions in Russia, we have seen the Specially Designated Nationals list grow and witnessed the introduction of sectoral sanctions. During this time, SDNs have become increasingly clever at hiding their ownership and controlling interest in companies. Businesses need to strengthen their due diligence checks and upgrade their internal compliance programme or risk costly violations • Test your knowledge and share ideas with your peers on how to apply the 50% rule when trading with Russian and Ukrainian parties and entities • Share challenges, ideas and concern on how to detect unlisted SDNs off the record during champagne round tables Risky Business There is an inherent risk when trading in regions affected by heavy sanctions. One stone left unturned could lead to the reputation destroying facilitation of terrorist financing or the engagement of business with a prohibited party. A wrong move can lead to profit destroying fines and crippling reputational damage. Join industry insiders and US prosecutors to discover what you can do to save your company from ending up in the news for all the wrong reasons. Find out: • How to conduct an internal sanctions audit and what you need to do with those findings to insulate your company from unnecessary risks • What prosecutors expect to see in a comprehensive compliance programme to decrease the risk of violations Why you can’t miss our 10th Anniversary Event • Hear the very latest on US and EU sanctions regimes and what your company can and cannot do under each • Be part of a truly international conference: Network and hear from experts from around the world including the US, UK, Germany, Belgium, Russia, UAE, the Netherlands and France • Participate with your peers by engaging in audience polling, small groups champagne round tables and anonymous question submission • Find out how to bolster your sanctions compliance procedures to pass internal audits and meet prosecutors expectations A MUST ATTEND EVENT FOR: Vice Presidents and Directors of: • Sanctions/Export Controls • Trade Compliance • Government Relations • Internal Controls • Regulatory • AML General Counsel’s Office: • VPs Legal Affairs/Operations • Sanctions Counsel • Export Control • International Trade Chief Compliance Officers Accounting and Consulting Firms Private Practice Lawyers Specialising in: • Sanctions • International Trade • International Regulation Iran is open for business... for some companies.
