This article examines the increasing convergence of export controls and financial crime compliance frameworks due to evolving geopolitical tensions. Financial institutions now have greater responsibilities in preventing the financing and flow of export-controlled items to prohibited entities, requiring them to integrate export control compliance into their existing financial crime compliance programs. The authors highlight new regulatory expectations, such as monitoring for specific red flags and filing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) related to export control violations, warning that unprepared organizations face significant penalties and reputational damage.
