OFSI is the ‘Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation’ and is responsible for ensuring that financial sanctions are properly understood, implemented and enforced in the UK.

With the ongoing war in Ukraine, sanctions against Russian and Belarussian entities is constantly changing and it is important that IPs are aware of OFSI and its work.

On 28 February 2023, OFSI provided a free webinar which provided an overview of its work and covered important areas such as OFSI licensing and enforcement of sanction breaches. The webinar is available until 10 May 2023 and can be viewed here.
