Companies owned or controlled by a “Sanctions Target” – by Marijo Samneh

When opening an account for an entity, it is important to know who is hiding behind it, in order to avoid working with sanctioned persons.
Therefore screening the names of the Ultimate Beneficial Owners is a must, prior to opening an account. If the company is owned or controlled by a sanctioned person, the account can clearly not be opened.
Which companies are considered owned or controlled by a “Sanctions Target”?
As per the EU laws, if a sanctioned person possess more than 50% of a company, the latter is considered owned by a “Sanctions Target”.
As per the US laws, if a sanctioned person possess 50% or more of a company, the latter is considered owned by a “Sanctions Target”.

Traps of decision making – In a Nutshell

Traps of decision making – In a Nutshell.

In this video I speak about biases in our judgment and how they impact our decision making.

A good exercise would be to use other examples related to work from your own experience to know if you were subject to these biases.

Being aware of these biases is a must, because it is the first step to fighting them.
