Which industry client poses the highest sanctions risks to a financial institution that offers acquiring services?
- A. Digital currency provider
- B. Aircraft maintenance company
- C. Retail company
- D. Pharmacy
Answer: A
Explanation:
Digital currency providers pose a heightened sanctions risk due to:
* exposure to anonymity-enhancing technologies,
* increased risk of being used for sanctions evasion and illicit finance,
* difficulty tracing the ultimate beneficial owner or origin of funds, and
* vulnerabilities related to mixers, unhosted wallets, and cross-border platforms.
Pharmacies and retail companies generally present lower sanctions risk. Aircraft maintenance companies can pose some risk depending on jurisdictions served, but digital currency firms are consistently recognized as the highest-risk sector for sanctions exposure.

Sanctions risk characteristics of virtual asset providers.
High-risk industry designation due to anonymous and cross-border value transfer.
NEW QUESTION # 26
Which measures should be incorporated into a comprehensive sanctions framework by a financial institution (FI)? (Select Two.)
- A. The FI must have a robust screening control program with a clear strategy in place.
- B. The FI should ensure comprehensive training for people involved in the alert clearing process.
- C. The FI should gather the required information on a best-efforts basis.
- D. The FI's management information reports should be available to everyone.
- E. The FI should not consider a broader set of controls for reviewing at a later stage.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
A comprehensive sanctions framework requires well-designed operational controls, including thorough training for staff responsible for alert review and sanctions decision-making. Sanctions and Compliance Domains specify that personnel involved in alert clearing must receive appropriate training to ensure awareness of regulatory expectations, sanctions typologies, and escalation procedures.
Additionally, the framework must include robust screening controls supported by documented strategy, governance, list-management processes, alert management rules, and ongoing testing. These elements form core requirements of sanctions compliance programs.
Management information reports are restricted to need-to-know distribution, and reliance on "best-efforts" is not compliant. Institutions must implement structured, risk-based controls, not minimal-effort approaches.
Reference:
Requirements for sanctions training and staff competency.
Necessity of a robust sanctions screening program with strategic oversight.
Internal governance and control expectations in sanctions frameworks.
NEW QUESTION # 27
In sanctions evasion, "stripping" refers to:
- A. splitting cash deposits into smaller amounts to avoid a currency reporting threshold.
- B. the underrepresentation of a price of a product in order to transfer value from one jurisdiction to another.
- C. deliberately changing or removing material information from payment messages or documents.
- D. sending two different types of messages for the same payment but with completely different information.
Answer: C
Explanation:
"Stripping" refers to removing, altering, or replacing material information from payment messages, invoices, or trade documents to conceal a sanctioned party, vessel, location, or jurisdiction. It is a recognized sanctions evasion technique used by actors seeking to bypass automated screening.
Examples include removing the sanctioned port name, omitting the ultimate consignee, or deleting identifying references.
This is distinct from structuring (option A), price manipulation (B), or dual messaging (C).
Reference:
Sanctions evasion typologies involving manipulation or removal of identifying information.
Trade and payment message alteration risks.

NEW QUESTION # 29
A bank is processing a trade finance transaction and has a legal obligation to complete the transaction. After completing its sanctions review, the bank determines there are multiple red flags indicative of counterfeiting. Which are the appropriate next steps for handling the transaction?
- A. Block the transaction, place the funds in an interest-bearing account, and file a report on the transaction.
- B. Reject the transaction and file a report on the transaction with the appropriate regulator.
- C. File a suspicious activity report and notify the customer of the red flags identified during the review.
- D. Process the transaction and refer the transaction for further investigation by the bank's financial intelligence unit.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Sanctions and Compliance Domains specify that when a transaction shows significant sanctions or illicit-trade red flags, a bank must avoid executing the transaction if it risks breaching sanctions restrictions. If the bank identifies discrepancies, counterfeiting indicators, or potential sanctions violations, the transaction must be rejected unless a blocking requirement applies.
Blocking applies only when a sanctioned party or property interest is identified. In this scenario, because there are red flags but no confirmed designated person, the appropriate action is to reject the transaction and file the relevant report with the competent authority.
Banks should not process the transaction and investigate later, nor should they disclose red-flag details to customers. Reporting requirements prohibit tipping-off in such regulatory contexts.
Reference from Sanctions and Compliance Domains:
Guidance on rejection versus blocking in trade finance risks.
Reporting obligations when red flags indicate possible sanctions exposure.
Prohibition on providing details of internal investigations to customers.
