The current source roster combines direct OFAC SDN data with the US Consolidated Screening List.
US Consolidated Screening List
Export screening lists brought together from US Commerce, State and Treasury agencies.
Read the publisher's overviewThe underlying list matters.
OFAC's service publishes several datasets. RuleNorth's direct OFAC feed uses the SDN dataset. The CSL contributes the records in its consolidated export-screening feed.
A consolidated record has an origin.
The CSL brings together agency lists with different restrictions. Its official overview points to those sources and explains why a possible match needs further assessment.
One record can appear in more than one feed.
Some OFAC records are also included in the CSL. That overlap reflects the same underlying listing. Two appearances should not be read as two independent findings about an order.
Keep the evidence traceable.
Source information helps explain what a check used and lets your team return to the underlying record.
Explore an example reviewPublisher and list
The authority and source identify where a record comes from. Review the underlying list to understand its meaning.
The version used for screening
Screening evidence connects to the source snapshot used for that check. A later publisher update does not rewrite an earlier decision.
Original and supporting details
The record's names, aliases and available attributes give context for comparison. Missing attributes remain an information gap.
Understand what an update tells you.
A publisher's update, RuleNorth's retrieval and an order's screening are separate events. Check the evidence associated with the order you are reviewing.
A source website's current date does not establish the version used in an earlier result. If a check cannot produce a valid result, the order remains Pending with details of the problem.
The current roster represents US sources. Additional jurisdictions, ownership research and product-specific rules can require separate work.
