A company director bears personal liability for international transactions and for handling sanctions-related risk. It is recommended to explicitly document approval processes for large transactions (for example, through the board or shareholders) and to consider director and officer (D&O) liability insurance as an additional tool for reducing a director's personal financial and legal exposure, particularly when dealing with international payments and partners from jurisdictions under heightened sanctions scrutiny.
