01

Use early screening for routing

Early checks can identify obvious jurisdiction or name-related concerns and bring compliance into valuable opportunities sooner.

02

Do not treat geography as the whole answer

OFAC explains that sanctions programs vary in scope and are not reducible to a single prohibited-country list. Targeted persons and ownership rules can apply regardless of location.

03

Keep operational controls separate

Pre-assessment should not weaken onboarding screening, match review, recordkeeping, ongoing monitoring or escalation procedures.
