9 Today’s evolving Sanctions landscape Arab Spring: new sanctions regimes introduced or extended overnight New US Executive Order targeting Syria quickly followed by new EU and Swiss sanctions Aggressive US enforcement of CISADA sanctions regulations against Iran Sanctions requirements growing in scope, complexity and size, extending to a range of state controlled companies: - Banks and insurers - Petroleum companies - Shipping companies - Industrial conglomerates

10 ©2010 Dow Jones & Company State-Owned Entity information for AML/CTF screening – 3,500+ state-owned companies from Libya, Iran and 7 other jurisdictions – ~ 40% of these companies are not yet on sanctions lists – Includes profiles of companies fully or partially-owned by sovereign wealth funds New “Enhanced Country Risk” category that identifies companies associated with governments from sanctioned jurisdictions

11 ©2010 Dow Jones & Company Sanctions compliance and vessel information Imo – Ships lists specifically on OFAC list; details now included in details of EU sanctions targets Identification of sanctions risk is a specific compliance challenge – Flag, Name and other identifying features may change – Complex/paper-based Trade Finance documentation Concern that Iran is circumventing sanctions régimes by re-naming and reflagging vessels International Maritime Organization (IMO) number is a unique characteristic of a vessel – IMO remains constant; valuable as the compliance key to identification of sanctions risk

18 ©2010 Dow Jones & Company Difficult to screen OFAC lists against names data in Chinese script – Many ways to transcribe Chinese characters into Roman scripts – Taiwan had 4 different official standards in 10 years – Unofficial standards are common HMT screening & Chinese language names 賴英照 In-Jaw Lai = Yingzhao Lai Ying-Jaw Lai

20 ©2010 Dow Jones & Company Closing thoughts The adoption of Sanctions as a means of political and economic influence is on the increase. Such increases are putting additional pressure on regulated organisations with increased work load and desire for more resources at a time of austerity. Using the correct type of sanction content for specific business needs is an effective way of improving operational efficiency with out jeopardising compliance integrity. Businesses with exposure to China or those looking to expand into this region are now seeking support with the challenges associated with Chinese Commercial Code and sanction screening of transactions.
