As an international company, you must comply with sanctions regulations to avoid violations. In addition to direct sanctions, there are also indirect sanctions that can affect business relationships with sanctioned countries or individuals. It’s important to identify indirect sanctions to avoid penalties and reputational damage.
The Dow Jones Risk Compliance database helps identify indirect sanctions and other compliance risks. Thanks to a partnership with Trade Monkey, companies can now easily access this resource. Dow Jones queries are available starting from just 100 name queries per year, allowing businesses of any size to quickly identify potential risks.
The database contains information on more than 2 million sanctioned individuals, organizations, and companies worldwide. It also includes lists of politically exposed persons (PEPs), terrorists, and individuals associated with money laundering and corruption.
Trade Monkey bietet eine benutzerfreundliche Oberfläche, den schnellen und einfachen Zugriff auf die «Dow Jones Risk Compliance-Datenbank» und die Suche nach sanktionierten Personen und Unternehmen.
The platform offers a straightforward function to process potential matches within a workflow and save all transactions in a log. From this log, all detailed information can be viewed as a PDF. Excel lists can be uploaded with names and a batch check, and then automatically and repeatedly screened. This keeps companies informed about changes in sanction lists, allowing them to react appropriately.
