Which screening list is used when an OFAC list is encountered?

• A. Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List
• B. Consolidated Screening List
• C. Denied Persons List
• D. Entity List

Answer: (A)

When screening against OFAC, you look at the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. This OFAC-maintained list identifies individuals, groups, and entities with whom U.S. persons are prohibited from dealing. A match means you must enforce sanctions—typically by blocking or denying the transaction and complying with OFAC reporting and procedural requirements. The other lists mentioned belong to different agencies (such as BIS) and are separate from OFAC’s SDN List. The Consolidated Screening List is a combined source for multiple programs, but the specific OFAC screening relies on the SDN List.
