Tackling the OFAC “50% rule”

OFAC (and EU) sanctions lists show just the tip of the sanctions iceberg. This is because they list only explicitly sanctioned persons and entities. However, a company is “sanctioned by extension” under the OFAC and EU “50% rule” if each of the ownership links in an unbroken chain between it and a person or entity on the list is 50% or more. Identifying these relationships is tough, and keeping up with frequent ownership percentage changes is even harder.

But we’ve developed a computation that generates snapshot lists of companies that, at that point in time, are sanctioned by extension. Customers can subscribe to these zip files via FTP. Read more about the problem and the solution in our blog post on how we can help you comply with the tricky OFAC and EU "50% rule".
