What best describes the OFAC Consolidated Sanctions List?

• A. Aggregate list of additional sanctioned entities (Correct)
• B. A list of sanctions evaders by geography
• C. Sectoral Sanctions Identifications
• D. Non-SDN Iranian Sanctions List

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that OFAC’s Consolidated Sanctions List is the single, up-to-date master roster of all blocked or designated entities and individuals across every OFAC sanctions program. It combines entries from the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list, country- and program-specific lists, sectoral sanctions, and other designations into one central source. That makes it the go-to reference for screening to ensure you’re not doing business with anyone who’s sanctioned, since all the program lists are consolidated here.

So why this description fits best: it emphasizes that the consolidated list is an aggregate of all OFAC designations—it's not limited to geographic evaders, nor is it a standalone list of Sectoral Sanctions Identifications or a specific Iran subset. Those programs exist, but their entries appear within the consolidated master list, which is updated regularly to reflect new designations.
