This article highlights some of the most significant changes following from the Wis that will reshape the Dutch landscape of sanctions compliance and will affect compliance officers throughout the market, but particularly those working at corporates, law firms and accounting firms. This article provides an overview of the comments the market has given on the legislative proposal and summarises the impact of the Wis on compliance functions.
