Compliance Training for Leadership
17 May 2026 - 20 May 2026 | Amsterdam, Netherlands
Course overview:
Focused executive-level programme designed to address heightened regulatory scrutiny related to sanctions circumvention, export controls, anti-corruption enforcement, fraud, and whistleblower protection. In the current environment of intensified oversight by authorities such as the European Commission, Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, and the Bureau of Industry and Security, companies operating in or via Kazakhstan and other CIS jurisdictions face increased exposure to legal, financial, and reputational risk. This training equips senior management and board members with a clear understanding of their oversight responsibilities and the practical steps required to build and supervise an effective, continuous compliance system. The programme combines international regulatory standards with practical implementation approaches tailored to regional business realities.
