Denied Party Screening

In an international marketplace, you need to be able to deploy your screening software globally, helping to ensure everyone is on the same page and using the same processes.

Visual Compliance addresses your needs with a single platform. Our denied party screening solutions work for everyone in your organization who screens, and enables the visibility that supports effective company-wide compliance.

With all the different company sizes and industries we service, it only makes sense to offer solutions with a variety of deployment options.

You may want online access for ad hoc screening of new customers or the occasional visitor to your premises, or batch screening for regular reviews of your customer list. You might prefer a solution that’s integrated with your Microsoft Dynamics^®, Oracle^®, Salesforce^®, SAP^®, ERP, CRM, eCommerce or other system, so that denied party screening happens automatically. With Visual Compliance you can mix-and-match solutions depending on your requirements. Our customers love that they can choose multiple ways to deploy our software, and that no matter what their business requirements are, there’s an easy and effective way to get their screening done consistently and accurately.

We understand that convincing your employees to include screening as part of their day-to-day processes can be difficult. Our solutions have been designed with the end user in mind, which is why they features easy-to-understand instructions, streamlined task workflows, and intuitive navigation controls to provide our customers with not only advanced denied party screening, but also the most optimal user experience.

We want everyone who uses our system to feel confident in what they’re doing, whether they’re compliance professionals engaged in risk assessment, or front desk staff screening visitor information.

It’s important to know not only who you are doing business with, but which countries are involved. An individual or a company may not appear on a denied parties list, but dealing with them may violate sanctions or embargoes.

When you include country information when performing denied party screening with Visual Compliance, your results return risk country notifications, alerting you to potential issues. Risk country alerts can include such issues as embargoed countries, sanctioned countries, OFAC restricted countries, foreign-produced direct product re-exports, and transshipment country prohibitions.

eCustoms offers a robust, up-to-date database of hundreds of watch lists that includes denied parties lists from government authorities on six continents, as well as a global lists maintained by multinational bodies such as the United Nations and the World Bank. The Visual Compliance database includes watch lists that cover major areas of concern, including Export, Restricted, Denied, and Block Persons, OFAC, Sanctions, Financial, Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), Law Enforcement, International Terrorism, General Services Administration (GSA), Medical, Beneficial Ownership, and Adverse Media. Our lists are updated daily to ensure that our users do not miss changes made by government authorities and multinational bodies.

In addition to these lists, Visual Compliance is able to include supplementary watch lists as required by our clients, and our solutions include features that allow you to create your own unique screening list of customers.

With the fast-paced, ever-changing nature of compliance, simply keeping up can be a time-consuming task. A solution that lessens the impact of ongoing changes can help support your overall compliance goals.

We meticulously review content, verify facts, and cross-reference data against multiple government sources—our rigorous process means you can trust that we’re on top of it, so you can concentrate on other things that matter to your business.

If denied party screening results are hard to understand, or are missing important details, how will you know which results need your immediate focus?

With Visual Compliance, you receive highly-detailed background information for each screening result, and your data is organized in a way that is simple to understand and act on.

Our customers share our belief that denied party screening and recordkeeping should go hand-in-hand. Audit-readiness demands detailed proof of due diligence, documenting the ‘who, what, when, and why’ of your screening activities for internal use or for an official audit.

Visual Compliance provides a full range of audit recording and due diligence solutions that automatically record screening details and allow users to easily provide evidence of their compliance activities.

When a search yields a match, can you be certain the results are being addressed appropriately by your organization? Not only do decisions need to be made about how to proceed, but they need to be made quickly, and documented in detail for future reference.

Visual Compliance’s automated workflow manages the necessary actions that follow a denied party screening match. It helps you to relay organized, detailed information to the right people to help them efficiently escalate or clear the match, and record the rationale behind their decisions.
