Denied Party Screening (DPS)
Standard company partner interface updated to prevent partial imports due to invalid duplicates
What it is:
We updated the Standard Company Partner Interface
to abort the import process if an Invalid Duplicate
is detected in input data. All entities in the file are now processed together, ensuring that none are partially updated.attention
Given that you may be accustomed to the behavior of your instance of the Standard Company Partner Interface, we have not automatically deployed this change to all customers. If you would like this functionality enabled for your DPS instance as well, please contact our support team.
Benefit to you:
You avoid partial uploads when input data contains duplicates. This update strengthens data integrity, so your entities are either fully imported or none are changed, preventing inconsistent DPS status
and reducing manual corrections.Add new stopword "Manufacturing"
What it is:
We’ve enhanced the Entity Screening
process by adding new stopwords and their capitalized variations. Now, common suffixes no longer interfere with your entity matches.- Manufacturing
Benefit to you:
You gain improved accuracy when screening entities. This enhancement delivers more precise results, making your decision-making process more reliable and efficient.CN ↔ HK address matching enhancement for improved search accuracy
What it is:
We have updated the screening process to treat China (CN)
and Hong Kong (HK)
as interchangeable entities for address matching and scoring. Changes include adding CN ↔ HK mappings across supported language profiles. Benefit to you:
This update improves search accuracy and eliminates mismatches caused by treating CN and HK as separate entities. You can now search for entities listed under CN or HK and retrieve results seamlessly, regardless of the country specified in the query or source data. It ensures uniform match scores for CN ↔ HK comparisons and supports multiple language profiles, enhancing overall functionality and user experience.API Documentation migration to the Developer Portal
What it is
: DPS has migrated its API documentation to the Developer Portal. All API reference materials, guides, and related documentation are now centralized in the portal to provide a single, consistent source of truth for developers. Benefit to you
:- Faster access to information: Find API docs, endpoints, and guides in one place with improved navigation and search.
- Better developer experience: Clearer organization and a more standard documentation structure makes it easier to onboard and integrate.
New lists added
What it is
: We have strengthened our regulatory compliance tools by adding coverage for new sanction and enforcement lists from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the European Commission. This update reflects our commitment to delivering comprehensive compliance solutions.Regulation List Name | Organization Name | Details |
|---|---|---|
OFAC - Enforcement Actions | U.S. Department of the Treasury | The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) enforces civil penalties for violations, considering factors such as the nature of the breach and self-disclosure. Actions may include warnings, fines, or criminal referrals, with penalty amounts adjusted annually for inflation. |
European Union - High-Risk Third Countries | European Commission | This list identifies jurisdictions with strategic deficiencies in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) regimes. Inclusion signals gaps in legal frameworks, enforcement, or international cooperation, as assessed by the FATF and recognized by the EU. Entities engaging with these countries should apply enhanced due diligence and risk mitigation in line with EU and international standards. |
Benefit to you
: The integration of the DPS list into the enforcement lists category, along with sanction list data, will significantly benefit Thomson Reuters and its clients. By incorporating this unique data, it broadens risk visibility across recent enforcement actions and high-risk jurisdictions, facilitating better decision-making and more successful outcomes.New enhancement: Dow Jones Trae and MAE list
What it is
: We have expanded our compliance tools by integrating two new Dow Jones lists:Regulation List Name | Details |
|---|---|
Dow Jones Trade Restricted Associated Entities (TRAE) | Entities 10% or more owned/controlled by parties on the U.S. BIS Entity List. This helps identify indirect trade risks, especially those linked to restricted Chinese technology or military-related entities and supports compliance with U.S. export controls. |
Dow Jones Military Associated Entities (MAE) | Entities 10% or more owned/controlled by those named by OFAC as "Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies" or identified by BIS as "Military End Users". |
Benefit to you
: The integration of the new Dow Jones lists will provide significant benefits to Thomson Reuters and its clients. This enhancement will provide more data coverage for client screening processes, supporting better decision-making for you.Content enhancement – Name order
What it is
: We enhanced our regulatory compliance tools by introducing two new alias types—mnOD and akaOD—which support the standard name-order format (First Name + Middle Name + Last Name). This enhancement strengthens our ability to generate comprehensive name variations alongside primary names, improving match accuracy and supporting stronger compliance outcomes. As part of this update, more than 8,700 aliases were added for this release across the following lists:- SHTC Entity List
- Enforcement Actions - Securities and Futures Commission Hong Kong
- Asian Development Bank - Sanctioned Firms and Individuals
- Azerbaijan Baku police Wanted List
- FDA Clinical Investigators - Disqualification Proceedings
With this quarter's delivery, we have now completed all lists in scope for this project. In total, 33 targeted lists were completed, and more than 164,000 aliases were added throughout 2025.
Benefit to you
: The integration of the new alias types will provide significant benefits to Thomson Reuters and its clients. This enhancement will improve match scores during client screening processes, leading to more accurate results and supporting better decision-making for you.
