OFSI Issues Guidance on Confidential Sanctions Reporting

The guidance aims to inform whistleblowers and others who wish to report suspected breaches of UK sanctions to OFSI.

Key areas covered in the guidance include:

➡️ How to decide whether to submit a confidential report;

➡️ How OFSI will handle information provided and privacy protection;

➡️ Protections and OFSI support for whistleblowers; and

➡️ Making reports via email.

✅ Sanctions Officers should review sanctions escalation processes and the measures taken to promote a culture of compliance, to ensure colleagues feel confident and able to report potential breaches and control gaps appropriately.
