Expensing it? The invoice can be made out to your firm, with its VAT number and your purchase order reference. Buying for several people: seats for a team.
The narrated video runs about 1 hour 31 minutes across the 30 lessons. That is short on purpose: no filler and no reading out of the law, with the work in the transcripts, the sources, the assessments and the artefacts.
Module 5. International financial sanctions
Why a prohibition is not calibrated to risk and which authorities sanctions put you in front of under the Law of 19 December 2020, the screening framework made explicit by Circular CSSF 25/896 and the EBA guidelines applicable since 30 December 2025, the discipline of resolving hits rather than reducing them, and what a confirmed match obliges you to do: freeze, do not make funds available, notify the Ministry of Finance, and never release on your own authority.
Every instrument this lesson is built from, linked to its official text
Sanctions sit outside the Law of 12 November 2004. The framework is the Law of 19 December 2020, with the Grand-ducal Regulation of 14 November 2022 beneath it. The Ministry of Finance is the competent authority for execution and for exceptional authorisations, and it publishes the national designations page; under article 4(2) of the 2020 Law the United Nations designations take effect automatically by reference to the UN list.
