Submit an OFAC Disclosure

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) encourages U.S. and foreign persons who may have violated OFAC-administered sanctions to disclose the apparent violations to OFAC voluntarily.  Pursuant to OFAC’s Economic Sanctions Enforcement Guidelines (“Guidelines”), OFAC considers voluntary self-disclosures (VSDs) to be a mitigating factor when determining the appropriate enforcement action to take in response to a particular case.  Additionally, in cases where a civil monetary penalty is warranted, a qualifying VSD can result in a 50 percent reduction in the base amount of a proposed civil penalty.  In reviewing the underlying conduct in a VSD, OFAC considers the totality of the circumstances surrounding the apparent violation, including, among other factors, the existence, nature, and adequacy of the subject’s compliance program at the time of the apparent violation and the corrective actions taken in response to an apparent violation.

Pursuant to the Guidelines, voluntary self-disclosures must include—or be followed within a reasonable period of time by—a sufficiently detailed report that provides a complete understanding of the circumstances of the apparent violation(s).  When such a report is not included with an initial notification, OFAC will generally expect such a report within 180 days after the initial notification.  Persons disclosing possible or apparent violations should be responsive to any follow-up inquiries by OFAC.  Please review OFAC’s Production Submission Standards for technical guidance on providing information to OFAC.
