Algorithmic accountability disclosure

Algorithmic accountability disclosure is becoming a direct compliance obligation for Trade and Geopolitical Risk functions, not a theoretical concern left to data scientists. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control and the European Banking Authority have both signaled expectations that firms explain, audit, and document automated decision logic used in sanctions screening, counterparty risk scoring, and export control flagging. Compliance teams are already mapping which algorithmic systems touch regulated trade decisions and whether those systems can produce the disclosure documentation a regulator would demand on short notice.
