Screened against 5 sanctions lists on 2026-05-07.
US-incorporated companies file at the state level — Delaware, California, and Nevada are the most common jurisdictions for incorporation, with Delaware accounting for more than two-thirds of S&P 500 companies. State-level public registries vary in detail: most surface basic registration data, registered agent, and incorporator, but few publish shareholder or director records by default. Federally-registered firms — publicly traded companies, broker-dealers, money transmitters, and investment advisers — additionally file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) via EDGAR, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA BrokerCheck), or state money-transmitter regulators.
The United States does not yet operate a fully-public federal beneficial-ownership register. The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), effective January 2024, requires reporting companies to disclose beneficial ownership information (BOI) to FinCEN, but the BOI database is restricted to law-enforcement and authorised financial-institution access. Sanctions screening is anchored on OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and sectoral programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. SONAR's US screening combines SEC EDGAR filings, OFAC SDN, FINRA BrokerCheck, and state-level filings where available.
For US subjects, SONAR's pipeline cross-references SEC EDGAR public filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, DEF 14A, S-1) to extract corporate structure, executive officer disclosures, and material-event filings; runs FINRA BrokerCheck lookups against any registered broker-dealer affiliations; and screens against OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, UN Security Council, and UK OFSI sanctions lists in parallel. Adverse-media monitoring covers US national press, trade publications, and SEC enforcement-action announcements. Where the subject operates as a money transmitter, state-level licensing data from Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) feeds the regulatory-status section.
How SONAR's screening works. Every screening runs against the OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated Sanctions, United Nations Security Council, UK OFSI, Swiss SECO, Australian DFAT, Canadian OSFI, and World Bank Debarred sanctions lists. Sanctions data is refreshed every four hours from each authority's source feed. Politically exposed person (PEP) matching uses the OpenSanctions PEP dataset (CC BY 4.0) covering more than 120,000 active and historical politically exposed individuals across heads of state, cabinet ministers, parliamentarians, judiciary, central bankers, military leaders, state-owned enterprise executives, and their close associates and family.
ICIJ Offshore Leaks screening cross-checks the subject and any extracted directors or beneficial owners against the consolidated database of leaked offshore-finance records from the Panama Papers (2016), Paradise Papers (2017), Bahamas Leaks (2016), Offshore Leaks (2013), and Pandora Papers (2021) — totalling more than 785,000 named entities, individuals, and addresses. A match in the ICIJ corpus is not by itself evidence of wrongdoing — many legitimate offshore structures appear — but flags the subject for enhanced due diligence. Adverse-media monitoring runs in parallel across English plus 11 additional languages, prioritising regulator announcements, court filings, and established business press over user-generated content.
