Overview
Once a business sanctions screening has been generated, it must be reviewed and marked accordingly. This process allows you to assess potential matches, confirm whether they relate to your client, and control ongoing monitoring.
You would complete this after onboarding a business or refreshing a sanctions screening.
How to review your business sanctions screening
Go to Engage → Businesses.
Select the relevant business.
On the Business Contact page, locate Sanctions screening.
Click View to open the screening report.
If required, click Refresh before reviewing to ensure you are working with the most current results.
At the top of the report, you will see the company contact details and the assigned reviewer. To change the reviewer, click the reviewer field and select a new user.

If no matches are returned, proceed directly to complete the review:
