OFAC Compliance
Kaufman Rossin’s dedicated financial services team helps financial institutions evaluate their Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) compliance programs.
Independent testing of compliance
Our professionals can conduct an independent test of your financial institution’s compliance with Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) regulations and of the institution’s internal policies and procedures.
We can assess the effectiveness of your policies, procedures and processes for conducting OFAC searches, updating OFAC lists, filtering criteria, investigating potential matches, blocking and rejecting transactions and records retention, including transaction testing.
Risk assessment
Kaufman Rossin can perform a comprehensive review of your financial institution’s customers and entities, products and services, transactions and geographic locations in order to evaluate the related OFAC risks.
