Use early screening for routing
Early checks can identify obvious jurisdiction or name-related concerns and bring compliance into valuable opportunities sooner.
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.
Keep operational controls separate
Pre-assessment should not weaken onboarding screening, match review, recordkeeping, ongoing monitoring or escalation procedures.
