OFAC Compliance

The Office of Foreign Assets Control's (OFAC) sanctions regulations prohibit U.S. citizens, businesses and financial institutions from engaging in business or financial transactions with persons or entities on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN List). Screening customer and other databases is the only way for organizations to identify possible transactions involving an SDN and to ensure compliance with the various sanctions programs enforced by OFAC.

Manually cross-checking potential business partners and other databases against OFAC's SDN list is a daunting task, especially for businesses who conduct a large number of transactions. Between the frequent changes to OFAC's SDN List and the number of transactions a business conducts, some may be tempted not to place the proper emphasis on their OFAC compliance program.

The good news? Screening current and potential business partners against OFAC's SDN List does not have to be labor intensive. Complying with OFAC's regulations and sanctions programs can be simplified by using a web-based automated, restricted party watch list screening software, such as ATTUS' WatchDOG® Pro.
