Accounting & BookkeepingCompliance Management3MediumBookkeeper$ implied
Accounts payable professionals in small to mid-size businesses are unsure whether they need to screen vendors against OFAC sanctions lists to avoid severe penalties, and lack a clear process or tool to do so.
Existing solutions (W-9 and TIN matching) do not check vendors against OFAC sanctions lists, leaving businesses exposed to penalties for unknowingly paying sanctioned entities. No integrated, easy-to-use screening tool exists for small businesses that don't have dedicated compliance teams.
