Ask Me Anything –

Is This Transaction Allowed or Prohibited Under OFAC?

Often complying with OFAC sanctions is anything but clear-cut. In addition, the increasingly aggressive use of sanctions and ever-changing rules and regulations does not make compliance any easier. How many times have you wondered, “Is this transaction prohibited or not?”

The U.S. Treasury Department defines prohibited transaction as “trade or financial transactions and other dealings in which U.S. persons may not engage unless authorized by OFAC or expressly exempted by statute.” They further state that since the various sanctions programs have different foreign policy and national security goals, the prohibited transactions may vary.

This definition, albeit necessarily broad, illustrates how challenging it can be for a compliance officer to pin down which transactions are allowed.

Join our expert lawyers as they walk you through several scenarios meant to shed light on what is allowed and what is prohibited under OFAC.
