Sanctions Screening
Identifying companies that are sanctioned is one challenge. But how do you identify companies who are sanctioned because they are remotely linked to sanctioned companies or individuals?
We call these companies "sanctioned by extension". They’re not on any sanctions list, but you could still be fined for trading with them. It’s a big challenge. So how do you identify them, how do you continue to monitor the situation, and how do you avoid breaching regulations?
