HEXDI Integrates Framework for OFAC Compliance Commitments
On May 2, 2019, the Department of Treasury Office of Financial Assets Control (“OFAC”) issued a Framework for OFAC Compliance Commitments. The OFAC Framework strongly encourages organizations subject to U.S. jurisdiction to employ a risk-based approach to sanctions compliance by developing, implementing, and routinely updating a compliance program with at least five essential components of compliance:
- Management Commitment
- Risk Assessment
- Internal Controls
- Testing and Auditing
- Training
HEXDI has integrated 42 additional government standards reflected in the OFAC Framework, which are now included in HEXDI modules 1 through 12.
