Sanctions review and analysis for e-commerce company

retail and distribution

CRA conducted a comprehensive review of historical customer and transaction data for a global e-commerce company, to identify activity that potentially related to sanctioned jurisdictions – in this case, limited to the Crimea region of Ukraine.  CRA performed a thorough analysis and review of the company’s systems, transactions, policies and procedures to determine whether transactions processed, or other activities undertaken may have implicated or otherwise violated OFAC sanctions related to sanctioned jurisdictions. CRA leveraged advanced data analytics to identify potential OFAC violations related to the sanctioned region, including, but not limited to text analytics (e.g. “fuzzy” and “wild-card” matching algorithms), transactional summary analyses (e.g. total activity by location, data type, etc.) and geospatial analyses.
