Our solution

Marlin Compliance Screening (MCS) is a SAP add-on for comparing persons and companies with sanction lists of all kinds – whether boycotts, fraud, terrorists or PEP lists (politically exposed persons). The software addresses the operative process and can monitor master data during creation and maintenance as well as various stock data: customer and vendor stock data, HR master data, in the central business partner and in the company’s bank master data. In addition, relevant transaction data – for example a different goods or services recipient entered manually – is also checked against the sanction lists. The reconciliation also takes place for manually entered, deviating ship-to parties or CPD accounts.

For a company group to be able to meet the different legal requirements of the countries, these are mapped by customizing. You can assign European company codes to other lists – such as American company codes – and responsible employees.

If a match with a list is found, the responsible persons of the respective legal area of a company will automatically receive a notification. Depending on the settings, the Compliance Management System sets various locks and informs the user via a message. The findings monitor qualifies the hits and processes them further. All steps are documented in a file in a traceable manner. Non-SAP systems can be connected to the screening process via a web service. Master data can also be uploaded as CSV files, checked and documented.

With the add-on Marlin Content (MCT), we determine the national and international parent company for a master record and also compare this with lists.

Legal Basis

With its regulations 2580/2001 and 881/2002, the European Union prohibits the providing of assets and services to terrorist organizations and individuals nationally and internationally. In accordance with articles 13 and 14 section 2 of the German Criminal Code (StGB), management is obliged to take organizational countermeasures. Pursuant to article §17 sections 1 to 7 of the German Foreign Trade and Payments Law (AWG), transactions involving sanctioned persons and institutions are punishable by law. This prohibits not only corresponding deliveries of goods but also business contacts of this kind. The US authorities Bureau for Industry and Security (BIS) and Office for Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC) have likewise adopted regulations that apply also to non-US companies.
