Adding Human Expertise into the Data Stream for Meaningful Risk Intelligence

SEATTLE, Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The consequences of failing to follow government sanctions and commerce regulations can impact a company's reputation and bottom line. The government expects companies to know the suppliers they buy from and customers they sell to.

Every company that buys or sells internationally or sells domestically to a foreign national or foreign entity, needs to develop processes for identifying the entities involved in those transactions and ensure that they are not prohibited from commerce. Typically, companies will subscribe to a service that sifts through a world of data points and generate reports to assist with this. Having access to these reports is crucial – and having access to experts with knowledge of the rules and how to connect the dots for their business can help avoid ending up on the wrong side of government rules which can result in hefty fines and damage to business reputation.
