浅析制裁黑名单自动化筛查 ——以美国出口管制与经济制裁合规信息化建设为视角
By King & Wood
引言 近年来，伴随着中美贸易摩擦不断升级，以美国为首的少部分西方国家频繁发布各类“黑名单”，以维护其所谓的国家安全或者外交利益。与此同时，在中国反制裁法律体系下，我国外交部基于对等原则也相继公布了数批反制清单。面对当前较为复杂的国际经济外交环境，无论是国有企业，还是外资企业，均已将针对外部合作伙伴的“黑名单”风险筛查视为开展任何商务活动的重要合规前提。然而，面对一边是频繁更新和种类繁杂的黑名单，一边是海量的合作伙伴数据，企业合规人员深感依靠传统人工手动筛查的方法已经远远不能满足当前合规工作的需要。为此，本文以美国出口管制及经济制裁领域的黑名单为例，从实操角度解析黑名单自动化实施方案的必要性和优越性，期待能够对广大企业的合规信息化建设工作有所启发。
