Sanctions Compliance & Screening Operations
Screen at scale without stopping the business or missing the name.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Risk appetite for sanctions compliance is written in adjectives, so every exception is defensible and every decision is unpriced. Boards are no longer asked whether risk was managed; they are asked what they knew and when — and the register is not a defence. This is where sanctions compliance stops being a compliance artefact and becomes an executive discipline your board will recognise as one.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Design a sanctions compliance risk architecture that anticipates rather than documents.
- Quantify sanctions compliance exposure in money — loss scenarios, tolerances and stress tests.
- Rehearse the sanctions compliance response before it is needed — command, disclosure and coordination.
- Lead sanctions compliance incident command when the organisation is under pressure.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
When the River Moved
A mining group built its supply chain on a river basin whose hydrology has shifted; two plants and thousands of contracts are exposed to sanctions compliance disruption. The climate models disagree on timing, not direction.
Your decision: Choose the adaptation portfolio — relocate, harden, or diversify — with capital, community and lender implications priced in.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a national health insurer knows it loses money to operational events but cannot see where.
Dataset: Synthetic incident and operational loss dataset for a national health insurer, including near misses and unrecorded events.
Your task: Quantify the exposure, find the concentration, and design a mitigation portfolio with a defensible business case.
A sanctions compliance exposure dashboard and mitigation investment case.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
