Overview
Challenge
Sanctions regulations are frequently updated by multiple authorities, such as the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), and the European Union. These updates often include new designations, regulatory amendments, guidance notes, and enforcement actions.
