The challenge with sanctions and complex ownership structures

Sanctions compliance becomes significantly more demanding when ownership and control structures are not straightforward.

Understanding who truly owns or controls an entity can be challenging, especially when links are indirect, layered, or obscured by limited public information.

This complexity makes it more challenging to determine whether an entity is effectively sanctioned under rules such as OFAC’s 50 Percent Rule or EU/UK control-based regimes.

What is the Dow Jones Sanctions, Control, and Ownership list?

The SCO list is a curated dataset from Dow Jones that identifies companies:

  • Owned (10% or more) by sanctioned individuals or organisations

  • Controlled through influence, decision-making authority, or executive roles

  • Associated through indirect links where full ownership data isn’t available

Stay compliant with key global regulations

The Dow Jones SCO list helps you:

  • Meet OFAC’s 50 Percent Rule requirements
  • Comply with EU and UK control-based sanctions frameworks
  • Spot both direct and indirect exposure to sanctioned parties

By broadening your view of hidden relationships, you avoid critical gaps in your compliance process.
