RECORD

Each check, source, and decision is written to an append-only audit log and retained per statutory record-keeping requirements. Records are available under mandate and to regulators on request.

LIMITATIONS

Screening reduces risk; it does not eliminate it. Sanctions designations update on schedule and may lag by hours. Registries reflect filings made by the companies themselves. Counterparties remain responsible for their own compliance obligations.
