CSI White Paper, Expert Available: Understanding OFAC: A Best Practices Compliance Guide for All Businesses


Computer Services, Inc. (OTCQX:CSVI):





What:

      In an effort to derail illicit activity and terrorism, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions program has magnified its efforts to stand guard over the expanding global economy. In doing so, OFAC penalties and fines have steadily moved beyond the financial services industry and into additional markets. OFAC now is aiming increased scrutiny at such specific businesses as purveyors of technology and electronic payments as well as retailers and distributors.
 

The increasing restrictions and regulations surrounding OFAC compliance have the potential to run companies of all sizes out of business-with large citations reaching to seven and eight figures. This growing scrutiny forces the need for all companies to better screen transactions against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. The list features specific entities and individuals with whom all U.S. businesses and citizens are forbidden from doing business.

 

In order to assist organizations in combating OFAC violations, Computer Services, Inc. (CSI (News - Alert))(OTCQX:CSVI) has published a new white paper detailing the basics of OFAC compliance and best practices for all businesses to remain compliant and aware of rapidly changing regulations.

 

Who:

Ronald Wylie, CSI's data services manager, is available to provide expert commentary on how organizations can effectively avoid potential fines for failing to meet required regulations and better manage OFAC compliance. Wylie also can provide deeper discussion on the major points detailed within the white paper, including:

• OFAC's key regulatory penalties;

• Industries affected by OFAC regulations;

• OFAC's sanctions programs basic requirements; and

• Best practices for streamlining OFAC screenings.
