What OFAC Compliance Means? June 18, 2011
The Office of Foreign Assets Control administers and enforces economic sanctions
programs primarily against countries and groups of individuals,
such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers.
The sanctions can be either comprehensive or selective, using the blocking of assets and trade
restrictions to accomplish foreign policy and national security goals.
All U.S. persons (which by legal definition includes firms)
must abide by these sanctions. This is the meaning of compliance. ********** |
