How to use Sanctions Checklist

Screen names against official sanctions lists and produce a clear, audit‑ready PDF.

1Search for Entities

Enter a person or company name. Choose a search type:

Exact
  • Best for single words or precise terms
  • Examples: Putin, Russia, Gazprombank
Multi (recommended)
  • Finds variations and word-order changes
  • Examples: Vladimir Putin → finds Putin, Vladimir
  • Works well for names with multiple spellings
Use Multi for full names and company names. Use Exact when you need very specific matches.

2Review Search Results

Each result shows the name, type (individual/organisation), source list, and identifiers.

Review checklist
  • Does the name and spelling match?
  • Check DOB, nationality, addresses where available
  • Confirm the source (OFAC, UK, UNSC, etc.)

3Build Your Compliance Checklist

Add relevant results to your checklist and record your decision:

Checked — not a match

Use when it is clearly a different person or company.

Flag for review

Use when there are similarities. A short note is required to explain the concern.

Notes are required only for items you flag for review. They are not shown for sanctioned entities.

4Generate Compliance Report

Generate a PDF when you are finished. It provides a clear audit trail of what you searched and how you assessed each result.

Included in the PDF
  • Search terms and time
  • Entities you added (by decision)
  • Notes for flagged items
  • Data sources and last‑updated dates
