Supporting sanctions compliance

Four types of sanctions compliance

Moody’s can also support sanctions compliance related to investors, clients, and intermediaries. Here are four ways we can help with sanctions compliance throughout the lifecycle of a relationship. Act quickly and decisively with access to accurate, real-time data.


Sanctions lists
Sanctions lists

Ensure coverage of all the major sanctions watchlists around the world. Receive updates every 24 hours. Feel safe in the knowledge you are always using the most recent sanctions lists.

Ownership or control
Ownership or control

Not all sanctioned entities are named on lists. Analyze ownership, control, voting power, and linkages to stay compliant with laws like OFACs 50% and the EU’s “by control” rules.

Changing sanctions
Changing sanctions

Governments can place new sanctions and restrictions quickly. Make sure you’re ready to respond and ensure you always know your client/investor and supply chain risk exposure.

Cautionary
Cautionary

Sanctioned entities and individuals can operate via family members, friends, or other networks. Ensure you can identify associations below ownership thresholds, as well as checking familial and personal relationships or sanctioned individuals.


Here's just one example of why it's important to go beyond the sanctions lists to uncover risk

Detect complex networks

Sanctioned Securities Screening

Financial sanctions prohibit doing any business with the subject entity, including dealing with their issued securities. Although some securities are directly called out within sanctions lists (by way of ISINs), this is not systematic, and firms are expected to detect whether a security has been issued by a sanctioned entity.

Moody's addresses these challenges through its proprietary Orbis database. Our Sanctioned Securities Screening solution has mapped this data to issued securities to detect:

  • Securities that might not have appeared on a sanctions list, but was issued by a sanctioned entity
  • Securities issued by an indirectly sanctioned entity
