Event Information

Thursday, May 8, 2025 at 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM EDT

Join the ACSS D.C. Chapter and New York Chapter at 12 noon EDT on May 8, 2025 for a virtual discussion on "The US Government’s Designation of Cartels as International Terrorists." This session will explore the broad-reaching implications of both the Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) designations on sanctions compliance programs. Many companies are still trying to understand these implications and the new authorities these designations give to OFAC and other U.S. agencies, as well as how to respond to the challenges companies face meeting their resulting compliance obligations. Take advantage of this opportunity to network with your peers and share best practices!
