Executive Order 13224, signed into law on September 23, 2001, officially prohibits transactions with individuals and groups designated by the United States government to be a threat to the safety, security and economy of our country. The law specifically identifies “the making or receiving of any contributions of funds, goods or services” among the prohibited transactions.

To ensure compliance with this law, non-profit organizations must undertake the burdensome task of checking all associates — including employees, subcontractors, grantees or affiliated organizations — against government-provided lists of individuals and groups suspected of having terrorist ties.

At the forefront of these government-created lists is the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, published by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This growing, 150+ page document — which is updated nearly daily — contains the names and multiple aliases of blocked individuals and organizations.

Manually checking associates against this and other suspect lists requires diligence and valuable time that few non-profits can afford. Instead, many non-profits turn to compliance verification software to provide a solution that is not only more time- and cost-efficient, but can also deliver a higher level of matching accuracy.
