WALLESS took part in the Financial Intelligence Unit Latvia conference

In times of geopolitical uncertainty, effective sanctions enforcement depends on more than rules, it requires cooperation, adaptability, and people who make change possible.

Unity, consistency, and accountability across governments, institutions, and businesses are key to building resilience and protecting the integrity of the international financial system.

These ideas were at the heart of the international conference “Guarding the Gate: Sanctions, Export Controls & Business Responsibilities”, organised by the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) Latvia in Riga.

The discussions highlighted that effective sanctions enforcement relies on coordination, information sharing, and close cooperation between the public and private sectors. Businesses play a vital role in protecting the financial system, where compliance is both a shared responsibility and a foundation of trust. As sanctions policy continues to evolve, resilience, adaptability, and skilled professionals remain essential to maintaining its long-term effectiveness.

As part of this event, WALLESS Associate Renata Kleine had the opportunity to gain valuable insights from international experts and policymakers on the future of sanctions implementation and global compliance trends.
