WorldCheck Continues to Lead Industry in Identifying High Risk Entities...

World-Check, the leading provider of risk-related intelligence on heightened risk individuals and entities, is proud of its record of being ahead of the sanction-listing curve. During the last 18 months the US Treasury (OFAC) has augmented the OFAC List with some 330 individuals and entities. Through its continued research and expertise, World-Check had identified 89 of these prior to their inclusion on OFAC. Most impressive is the fact 21 of these 89 are in relation to terrorism. Once again World-Check has proven its worth as an early-warning system to protect the financial community from adverse risk.



World-Check's8217;s database, compiled entirely from open source information, often identifies individuals as heightened risk before they appear on the lists of sanctioning organizations such as the Bank of England or OFAC. An example is the case of Radulan Sahiron, a leader of the terrorist organization Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), profiled on World-Check in August 2002, more than three years ahead of OFAC adding him to its list of Special Designated Terrorists in November 2005. World-Check not only profiled Sahiron, but also identified and linked a number of other senior members of the same terror group, notably Isnilon Hapilon and Hamsiraji Sali.



Not only with regards terrorism, is World-Check ahead of the regulators. The Sanam Industrial Group was profiled in World-Check nearly four years ahead of OFAC adding it to its Non-proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction listing.



's8220;We are proud to be ahead of the curve on such important matters and realize how valuable World-Check is as the leading open source intelligence provider to the financial community,'s8221; said Mr David Leppan, World-Check's8217;s founder and CEO. 's8220;We continue to invest heavily in our people and technology in order to mitigate risk on behalf of our customers. These statistics and the fact we are often as much as 2, 3 and even 4 years ahead of the game, offers further proof of the success of our researchers in uncovering true risk.'s8221;



World-Check is proud of its well established track record and to ensure that it continues to stay one step ahead of the regulators, its highly dedicated team continually monitors hundreds of thousands of sources, gathering unstructured open source information and correlating it into a highly structured KYC and PEP database.
