Kharon partnered with the U.S. Department of State to host a two-day workshop in Seoul, South Korea, focused on best practices in sanctions risk management.

The engagement brought together public and private sector professionals to strengthen sanctions implementation and detect potential evasion networks. Kharon subject matter experts shared data-driven insights to help participants identify and mitigate exposure to Chinese and Russian proliferation networks.

The event featured:
• Thematic topics related to the global 50% ownership rules and how to calculate OFAC’s 50 Percent Rule
• Interactive case studies on Russian and Chinese evasion tactics used to illicitly acquire dual-use items.
• Open-source research techniques to enhance due diligence efforts
• Collaborative efforts to reinforce the need for cross-sector cooperation to enhance the detection of procurement networks.

Thank you to the participants for their commitment to global security and enhancing sanctions-risk oversight.
