Restricted and Denied Parties Lists

Wherever and however you do business, there are restricted and denied parties lists that you need to screen against to mitigate regulatory and trade compliance risk

Most comprehensive Denied Parties Lists

Many government bodies publish watch lists of individuals and organizations that are subject to trade restrictions. Among these are denied parties lists published by the U.S. Departments of State (DDTC), Commerce (BIS), and Treasury (OFAC). Additionally, many governments around the world maintain their own watch lists. As do international bodies, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union.

Descartes Visual Compliance™ provides the most comprehensive denied party screening lists so that organizations can minimize regulatory and trade compliance risk nationally, regionally and globally.

Our Core Denied Parties List Groups

Lists searched when screening in Descartes Visual Compliance cover major areas of concern, including watch lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the Department of State, Sanction Programs, Domestic and International Financial Risks, and Law Enforcement-related Wanted Persons Lists, as well as many others, such as those from the European Union and world bodies.

With the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of denied parties lists, keeping up can be a time-consuming task

We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our solutions, and our ability to stay on top of changes or modifications to restricted and denied parties lists. On a daily basis, our team of subject matter experts review officially published watch lists using a combination of automated processes and manual verification, so that we can be sure that our content meets our high standards of accuracy.
Changes can, and often do, occur daily. We distill the information and automatically update our screening solutions to reflect the changes, and we also notify you by email to keep you informed of the updates that have been made. Updates to our content occur within one business day of changes being published by government sources. We update our lists multiple times a day, as necessary.

You can’t grow your business if you keep doing manual screening. Descartes Visual Compliance was very easy to integrate into our existing ERP and sales platform. Now we have an automated way to check every order as it comes in. There’s no manual screening and we only have to go in to check when there is a flag.
