CAMS-ii OFAC Scanning Enhancements Planned for Year-End Release

The CAMS-ii Year-End release*, tentatively labelled version 5.2.0, will include support for the Consolidated Sanctions List, which OFAC has developed to provide all of the non-FinCEN lists in one file.

We will also be adding support for weak aliases in the CAMS-ii version 5.2.0 Release, which will enable the OFAC screening to assist with compliance by better determining possible "hits" based on listed aliases or AKAs.

Also. we have been receiving questions about the current capabilities of the CAMS-ii OFAC Scanning feature. Currently, this feature uses the following lists:

• Specially Designated Nationals (SDN)
• Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC)
• Foreign Sanctions Evaders (FSE)
• Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI)

We will post more information here regarding the Year-End Release as its availability approaches.

*The 2014 Year-End release is tentatively scheduled for early-to-mid-December.
