OFAC Makes It Easier for Banks to Detect & Avoid Persons & Companies on the International Black List With Newly Released Global Format

This new sanctions list format was jointly developed by the United Nations (U.N.) and the Wolfsberg Group of International Banks in an effort to create a universal sanctions list format that can be efficiently used by governments worldwide and enhances sanctions compliance.  The new format incorporates a variety of features that ensure maximum flexibility for sanctions list creators, while also limiting the need for future changes to the underlying data specification due to the standard’s adaptability.
New capabilities associated with the advanced sanctions list format are discussed on International Financial Law Prof Blog
