October 17, 2026

Sanctions screening is the process of checking investors, beneficial owners and counterparties against applicable sanctions lists; including those with effect in the Cayman Islands through the United Kingdom; to ensure the entity does not deal with designated persons or breach sanctions prohibitions. Effective screening, both at onboarding and on an ongoing basis, is an integral part of a Cayman entity's AML/CFT and financial-crime compliance framework.
