The US Dept of Treasury’s enforces economic and trade sanctions against foreign threats. It publishes a Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list containing individuals and entities with which economic activity such as payments are restricted.

SMU complies with these sanctions through a process that imports the SDN list into SMU Financials. The system validates newly-added vendor names and addresses against the list and flags those that may be a potential match. Vendors flagged as a potential match must be reviewed and cleared before payments can be made to them.
