Sanctions Screening
Assess the relationship. Consider the relevant connections.
The scope of sanctions, watchlist, politically exposed person and adverse-media checks within FIDERE’s risk assessment.
SCREENING SCOPE
- Clients and connected parties
- Screening may cover the client and relevant connected parties, informed by the ownership and control information collected during due diligence.
- Sanctions and watchlists
- Checks against sanctions and watchlists may take place during onboarding and periodically during the relationship.
- PEP status and adverse media
- Politically exposed person status and relevant adverse media may also be considered as part of the wider risk assessment.
AFTER ONBOARDING
Screening can be revisited.
Material changes in ownership, control, geography, business activities or transaction behaviour may trigger re-screening and a refresh of the client profile. Screening is therefore part of an ongoing relationship, as well as an initial review.
