Widening OFAC Investigations of European Entities Continue to Make Headlines.

Is Your Company or Client Next?

Now more than ever, economic sanctions pose unprecedented compliance risks for financial institutions, insurers and exporters in Europe.

The US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has stepped up its international enforcement efforts and is committed to ensuring all global companies carefully comply with US sanctions regulations no matter where located. The £231 million Lloyds TSB penalty, the largest fine ever imposed for violations of US sanctions regulations, ANZ Bank’s recent $5.75 million settlement as well as other investigations into the shipping industry, continue to serve as a harsh reminder of the magnitude of consequences for entities that violate US sanctions laws.

While ongoing OFAC investigations continue to grab headlines, European and foreign entities must also be ever mindful of UK and EU sanctions developments. The Financial Services Authority recently released a report on economic sanctions compliance to encourage all firms, large and small, to enhance compliance processes. Moreover, cooperation between US and European sanctions authorities is increasing and EU Member States are taking steps to tighten and enforce sanctions regulations.

Under this increased climate of risk, global companies and financial institutions operating in Europe must institute preventative measures and enhance existing compliance programmes. Failure to detect and prevent sanctions breaches is otherwise likely to result in staggering penalties and reputational damage.

Following the success of their Economic Sanctions conferences in London, Frankfurt and Washington, DC, American Conference Institute and C5 Group are pleased to introduce the 3rd European Forum on Economic Sanctions. Senior government officials, industry leaders and attorneys will once again provide insights on critical sanctions issues, including:

• OFAC’s compliance expectations for US and non-US entities
• Working effectively with HM Treasury on obtaining licenses
• Designing effective systems and controls to prevent sanctions breaches
• Promoting economic sanctions awareness
• Preparing for greater enforcement of EU blocking measures

Today, almost 80% of economic value creation is based on intangible resources. However, most organizations still do not know how to reveal the value of these resources and how to give direction to future value creation. The concept of intellectual capital gives intangibles ‘a body’ and therefore makes it possible to measure, communicate and interpret them. This conference combines theory and practice and gives a state-of-the-art overview of intellectual capital measurement and management.

Theme: Creating Sustainable Value through Transformational Outsourcing

Outsourcing is no longer seen as a means to deliver Cost improvements. World Class Organizations look at Outsourcing from a Strategic point of view and are now looking at Outsourcing Service Providers to support them with their own continuous improvement and growth.

Key characteristics of Transformational Outsourcing include the Outsourcing of business critical activities along with Non-Core functions.

Outsourcing is relatively a new business practice in the Middle East and the needs are totally different from the USA, Europe or any other part of the world. Arab Outsourcing Conference & Expo 2010 will specifically examine Outsourcing challenges in the Middle East at a Strategic level.

The service providers and equipment suppliers who exhibit at SIMESITEM find the right audience.
