Under Presidential national emergency powers, OFAC acts to restrict transactions and freeze assets. OFAC enforces the Tradition with the Enemy Act, which restricts trade with countries hostile to the U.S. It also uses sanctions to apply ?nancial pressure to targeted individuals or nations. Screening sanction lists is one of the Anti-Money Laundering or CDD operations. Goals And Exemptions For Trade Restrictions OFAC's mission is to combat ?nancial crime, money laundering, and other illicit activities. OFAC has the freedom to exempt certain transactions from prohibition and allow them to occur. OFAC has a Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, which is a list of individuals and companies who are a?liated with or from targeted countries.

PEPs are individuals with formal political power and informal but in?uential political connections, according to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Rather than imposing a time limit on dealing with a previous PEP, risk assessment should be considered. Risk-based approaches require analysis of PEPs who no longer hold prominent public positions to determine whether they are susceptible to money laundering and terrorist ?nancing.
