Complying with sanctions screening requirements is complex. Not only should your organization be using updated lists, but you should also have procedures in place to screen clients regularly (including PEPs), investigate and remediate any potential suspicious relationships, and finally automate the reporting of suspicious activities.
Moreover, penalties for breaching sanctions can be severe. Recent cases and settlements brought forth by regulators highlight the need for your organization to have a robust sanctions screening program in place. You need a powerful screening solution that will help you avoid risky relationships.
