This remote workshop on KYC and due diligence best practices aims to empower private chemical sector stakeholders in Iraq with the knowledge and techniques required to conduct chemical trade-related end-user verification and customer vetting investigations. Through training on distribution security; recognition and reporting of suspicious requests, purchases, and incidents; and use of supplier and regulator risk mitigation techniques, participants will leave not only with an understanding of illicit chemical weapons procurement tactics used by violent extremist organizations, including ISIS, but also with expert-facilitated Action Plans that will guide them in both assessing existing measures to regulate the sale and distribution of dual-use chemicals at their companies and in collaborating on new measures to strengthen chemical security across Iraq.
