Program Overview: What is Sanctions Compliance and Screening?
Sanctions Compliance & Screening is Edstellar's instructor-led program for BFSI teams that run sanctions screening across customers and payments. It covers global sanctions lists and regulators, list data quality and name matching, customer and payment screening, alert triage, and evasion detection. Teams learn to turn screening from a checkbox into a working control.
Training is lab-driven from the first module, with screening exercises run against realistic list data and payment patterns. Participants tune name matching, work alert queues, practice disposition calls, and hunt evasion typologies with instructor coaching on every decision. Facilitators review triage quality and challenge teams on their false-negative reasoning. The final five hours are a Screening Health Check: a full audit of the team's screening workflow.
Screening risk hides in customer lists, payment flows, and trade documents, and one missed match can mean enforcement action. Noisy alerts and sloppy name matching bury analysts while real hits slip through. This program teaches teams to run screening as a measurable control: clean lists, tuned matching, disciplined triage, and documented dispositions.
The capstone is a Screening Health Check: your team audits its own end-to-end screening workflow, from list data quality and matching thresholds through alert triage and asset blocking decisions. Instructors score the findings against regulator expectations, and the team leaves with a prioritized remediation list plus the tuning playbooks and disposition templates they validated in the lab.
Teams Enhance their sanctions Capability through guided labs and applied scenarios, not lectures alone. Employees Upskill in list management and screening configuration, then apply them in their Day-to-day Work. Collaboration improves as compliance, operations, and risk align on one defensible standard. Performance is measured through labs and the capstone screening review, so managers see stronger controls, fewer false positives, and cleaner audit trails after the program.
