OFAC: Launches Online Portal for Voluntary Self Disclosure Submissions
February 24, 2026/
The Office of Foreign Assets Control has introduced a new online Voluntary Self Disclosure Portal designed to streamline the submission of potential violations under sanctions programs it administers.

OFAC is encouraging all prospective filers to use the new system going forward.
