Although the Bank itself is not bound to comply with the listing, many financial institutions with which it conducts business internationally are. These financial institutions impose stringent obligations in respect of the correspondent accounts they offer to banks such as the respondent. Any misstep by the Bank concerning a client who is an SDN could lead to the seizure of funds transferred in bulk on behalf of a number of clients, to a closure of accounts or to an adverse report to OFAC. It follows that it was not only the Bank’s reputation that it felt was at risk but that there were also material business risks.”

Even with an automated system, the burden on resources due to False Positives is massive. Difficult to deploy consistent policies, rules, systems and controls throughout the organisation. Discrepancies in Customer and List Data complicate matching. Different Language and Character sets make cross-referencing difficult.
