Iran sanctions: Five key compliance risks for officers

The US and Israel-led blockade of Iran continues to create compliance headaches across regulated sectors. We've pulled together five concrete issues officers need to action right now, from transaction screening through to supply chain due diligence. Separately, the FCA faces legal pushback on its motor finance AML approach, regulators are signalling that an emerging AI Act code will become market practice, and a key SEC enforcement figure is stepping down.

In today's brief

  • 1 What should compliance officers prioritize as Iran blockade risks spread across supply chains and financial flows?
  • 2 Can the FCA's industry-wide motor finance scheme survive legal attack from lenders?
  • 3 Will the EU's new AI Act transparency codes become mandatory de facto standards for all high-risk deployments?
  • 4 Who replaces the SEC's specialized enforcement chief as crypto and market manipulation cases mount?
