Sanctions Compliance Overview
Sanctions review considers the actual parties, activity and jurisdictions involved in a proposed relationship or transaction.
Jurisdiction and transaction context
Programs can contain different restrictions, exceptions and authorization conditions. A name match alone is not a complete legal determination, while the absence of a match is not an all-purpose assurance. Ownership and other contextual facts may matter.
Legal concepts and regulatory considerations
OFAC publishes United States sanctions programs and country information. Other jurisdictions can impose different restrictions, and current authoritative sources require review.
