Sanctions & TFS: Screen, Freeze, Report

Who it’s for: sanctions analysts, compliance officers, MLROs and operations leads in Kenyan financial institutions.

Format: about 45 minutes, self-paced, with a 10-question final assessment (pass mark 80%) and a certificate.

You will be able to:

• State what Kenya’s targeted financial sanctions (TFS) regulations require, and the 24-hour clock they set.
• Resolve a screening alert to one of three outcomes: clear, escalate, or freeze, using identifiers rather than names alone.
• Apply the ownership-and-control test to customers and counterparties that are not themselves listed.
• Run a freeze and report within 24 hours without tipping off the customer.
• Show, with records, that your screening program covers everyone it should.

The course uses short lessons, three decision scenarios and a printable job aid. Each lesson ends with a check you can answer before you move on.
