PROBLEM & USE CASE
From sanctions alert to a reviewable investigation
A possible name match is only the starting point. Analysts still need to compare identifiers, gather missing information, explain their findings, and give reviewers enough evidence to assess the decision.
Sanctions Review Desk brings those steps into one workspace. Record a screening result, connect evidence to your assessment, track unanswered questions, and submit the case for QC.
When to use this workspace
- An individual or business resembles a sanctions-list entry.
- A buyer, payer, or shipment recipient needs further investigation.
- A reviewer needs to understand and challenge an analyst’s conclusion.
Independent work sample. Search current OFAC SDN names and aliases, or record an external screening result. Possible matches require investigation; this tool does not authorize transactions.
