Sanctions and Export-Control Screening Standard

This standard defines the minimum control structure for screening the organization's counterparties, transactions, products, and ownership relationships against economic-sanctions and export-control regimes, and for verifying beneficial ownership to the extent sanctions screening requires it. It exists because sanctions and export-control exposure is currently addressed only incidentally across the corpus (as a trigger in supplier and merger procedures), with no dedicated screening method.
