Whether an OFAC match is true and requires blocking from model-risk exam

Situation

An IG shop scoping a whistleblower allegation cannot treat a FinCEN 314(a) list that hits a high-volume customer as color commentary on model-risk exam request list. Contracting officer's technical representative must close an OFAC match is from that extract under US Federal / Financial Crime and Sanctions.

Decision

Contracting officer's technical representative in an IG shop scoping a whistleblower allegation must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using model-risk exam request list after a FinCEN 314(a) list that hits a high-volume customer.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pursue now; model-risk exam request list already has the discriminator after a FinCEN 314(a) list that hits a high-volume customer.
• Keep Pursue with conditions in force until model-risk exam request list is completed after a FinCEN 314(a) list that hits a high-volume customer for contracting officer's technical representative.
• Treat model-risk exam request list as Partner because both readings appear after a FinCEN 314(a) list that hits a high-volume customer.
• Refuse a US Federal close: contracting officer's technical representative does not have the page an OFAC match is turns on in model-risk exam request list.

Analysis required

• Name the evaluation right contracting officer's technical representative would forfeit by rushing.
• Normalize pricing and CPARS/QASP evidence that actually supports an OFAC match is.
• Compare PTW and compliance gates in model-risk exam request list to a pursue / partner / no-bid split.
• For this US Federal Financial Crime and Sanctions file, read model-risk exam request list against a FinCEN 314(a) list that hits a high-volume customer and write the one fact that would move an OFAC match is for contracting officer's technical representative.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this US Federal / Financial Crime and Sanctions packet (model-risk exam request list after a FinCEN 314(a) list that hits a high-volume customer). The follow-on Financial Crime and Sanctions action is what contracting officer's technical representative does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
