OFAC sanctions check

Atlas Verified help: TC-002

Summary

Atlas can use OFAC sanctions check when a user asks a clear question about an entity, document, shipment, supplier, or trade lane. The tool result is meant to support a decision: verify a fact, narrow a risk, open a related record, or decide what evidence to collect next.

Before you begin

Steps

  1. Open the dashboard Atlas chat surface from Atlas chat — compliance tools run automatically from your prompts.

  2. Start or resume a conversation (CH-001).

  3. Send a clear request, for example:

Run an OFAC sanctions check on [Company Name] and summarize any hits with sources.

  1. Review Atlas's reply, citations, and any record cards.

  2. Open linked shipments or suppliers from the response when offered.

Expected result

Atlas returns an answer with tool citations relevant to OFAC sanctions check, and you can act on linked records.

Tips

  • Ask follow-up questions in the same thread to narrow results.

  • Keep the related shipment, supplier, document, or organization open while you work.
