Question 1

How do I check if a public company has Venezuela exposure?

Accepted Answer

Type the company name or its ticker into the search box above. The tool resolves the query against the S&P 500 list, runs an OFAC SDN scan, checks recent SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F, 6-K) for Venezuela-related disclosures, and surfaces matching Federal Register notices and news articles from the Caracas Research corpus.

Question 2

Which companies are covered?

Accepted Answer

Every S&P 500 constituent (about 500 tickers) has a dedicated profile page at /companies/<slug>/venezuela-exposure. About 30 of those have a hand-curated analyst note with subsidiary names and OFAC general-license context; the rest rely on algorithmic signals (OFAC SDN match, EDGAR full-text search, news corpus scan).

Question 3

What does "no exposure on the public record" mean?

Accepted Answer

It means there is no entry on the OFAC Venezuela SDN list matching the company or any of its known subsidiaries, no Venezuela-related disclosure in the company's recent SEC filings that we have indexed, and no analyzed news article in our corpus naming the company alongside Venezuelan context. This is the answer most analysts come to verify.

Question 4

Is this tool a substitute for sanctions counsel?

Accepted Answer

No. The tool surfaces signals that justify deeper diligence; it does not perform full ownership-chain analysis (the OFAC 50% Rule), check non-SDN sectoral lists, or verify enforcement context. For high-stakes counterparties, retain qualified sanctions counsel.
