Dealer compliance software built into every deal

Run the OFAC screening on every buyer and co-buyer from the deal, record the Red Flags ID check, and keep the forms you choose, such as the privacy notice and the odometer statement, with the deal. Keep your Safeguards records on one page too: the Qualified Individual, plus risk assessments, training and incidents, each saved with who recorded it and when.

A person decides. The system keeps the record.

A person starts the screening, the system matches the names and keeps the records, and each decision is saved with the person who made it.
  • Holds the sale for screening

    Your team runs the OFAC screening from the deal. Mark sold is refused until the buyer and co-buyer are screened under their current names and no match is waiting, and a passing result is screened again at Mark sold if the list has changed since.

  • Leaves the match to a person

    A possible match is resolved by an owner or admin manager, never by a salesperson, with the decision, the reviewer and any note saved on the screening.

Dealership compliance software that works inside the deal

Deal compliance and your dealership’s security program records need different kinds of attention. Run the OFAC screening and the Red Flags ID check on the deal’s Compliance step, where Mark sold waits for the screening, and keep risk assessments, training and incidents on the Compliance page. Each screening, decision and record is saved with who did it and when.

  • Review the buyer screening

    Screen the buyer and co-buyer against the OFAC lists from the deal. A possible match holds the sale and stays in view for an owner or admin manager to review.

  • Record the human checks

    Complete the Red Flags ID checklist, note anything that did not match and how it was resolved, and keep who completed it and when with the deal.

  • Maintain program records

    Keep the Qualified Individual, risk assessments, security awareness training and incidents on one Compliance page, with a warning before a date lapses.

English transcript

A compliance workspace organizes checks and the evidence behind them. It helps people review a transaction, follow a program, and keep a traceable record, while the dealership remains responsible for its compliance decisions.

Compliance work needs a record of what was checked. AutoDealer brings deal checks, documents, and Safeguards records into the workspace, helping the team review the evidence and track the work that remains.

Inside a deal, review the screening status and the Red Flags identity checklist alongside the transaction. Potential matches need human review. Keeping the checks close to the deal helps the team see the current status before deciding whether more investigation or documentation is needed.

The Safeguards workspace organizes records for the qualified individual, risk assessments, employee training, and incident response. Review the existing information and outstanding items together so responsibilities stay visible to the people managing the program instead of living only in separate documents or inboxes.

Supporting files and the audit log provide context. Check what is stored, when it expires, and the history of changes. These tools support your process; they do not guarantee compliance or replace professional judgment for a particular transaction.

The AI assistant can summarize compliance status and propose a supported rescreening action. Review the evidence and approve the action; your team decides the outcome.

  • OFAC screening on the buyer and co-buyer, run from the deal

    Click Run screening on the deal’s Compliance step and both names are checked against the U.S. Treasury SDN and Consolidated lists, aliases included. The lists refresh every day. Screening matches names, not identity documents, so a possible match needs a person’s review and is never cleared automatically.

    • Matching is generous on purpose: spelling, word order and accents still flag.
    • Each candidate shows the listed name, a match percentage, the source list and the sanctions program.
    • Mark sold is refused until both names are screened under their current names and no match is waiting.
    • A passing result is screened again at Mark sold if the list has changed since.

    How OFAC screening works 

  • Red Flags Rule compliance: a five point ID check recorded with the deal

    The Red Flags card on the deal’s Compliance step is a checklist a person completes with the buyer’s government-issued photo ID in hand. Tick what is true, note any discrepancy and how it was resolved, attest, and save. The software records the check. It does not authenticate the ID.

    • The five items: ID presented, name matches the buyer, ID unexpired, address matches, photo matches.
    • All five ticked reads Cleared. Anything left unticked reads Flagged and is still saved, with your note.
    • Owners, admin managers and salespeople can complete it, and saving again records a new time and person.

    How to complete the Red Flags check 

  • Who screened, who cleared it and when

    A possible match is resolved by an owner or admin manager. A salesperson can run the screening but cannot clear a match, even on their own deal. The reviewer compares the listed entry with the buyer’s ID, writes a note and chooses Mark false positive or Confirm hit. The decision and the reviewer are saved on the screening and in the audit log.

    • Confirm hit keeps the sale blocked.
    • When a screening flags someone, the other owners and admin managers get a notification on the bell, and the morning message names a match still waiting after a day.
    • The Red Flags card shows the date and the teammate who completed it.
    • Owners and admin managers read the audit log and filter it by person, action, record or date.

    How the audit log works 

  • F&I compliance paperwork: privacy notice, odometer statement and notice templates

    Tick the forms a deal needs on its Paperwork step. They are filled from the deal when it is marked sold and kept with it. The starter Retail Sale pack holds the Bill of Sale, the Federal Odometer Disclosure Statement, the Privacy Notice (GLBA) and a title worksheet.

    • A Risk-Based Pricing Notice and an Adverse Action Notice come as starter templates labeled Draft. Review them with your counsel before you use them.
    • The platform prints the FTC Used Car Rule sentence about the window form on a contract of sale, and a state’s fixed sentence about the dealer’s fee where the state sets one and the fee is charged.
    • Every form is a generic starter, not legal advice. None of them pulls credit or makes a credit decision.
    • The forms are part of the deal’s closing steps. Deals, F&I & E-Sign
  • FTC Safeguards Rule records: Qualified Individual, risk assessments, training and incidents

    The Compliance page keeps the records of your Safeguards program, with dates rather than a score. Four cards sit at the top: the Qualified Individual, the last risk assessment, the number of training records and open incidents. Owners, admin managers and accounting can open it, and owners and admin managers add records.

    • The owner who signs up starts as Qualified Individual, and only the owner can reassign it.
    • The risk assessment card turns orange 30 days before the next due date you set, and red when it is overdue or was never recorded.
    • A training record turns orange 30 days before it expires, and red once it has.
    • Incidents carry a severity from Low to Critical and a status of Open, Investigating or Resolved. Resolving is final.
    • Vendor records carry the vendor’s access to customer information, a risk level and a next review date.

    How the Safeguards records work 

  • Dealership compliance checklist: what the software records and what stays with you

    The software keeps the records and holds the sale for the screening. Your team does the checks, makes the decisions and writes the program.

    • On the deal: the OFAC results for the buyer and co-buyer, the reviewer’s decision, the Red Flags check, the odometer disclosure, proof of insurance and the forms generated at the sale.
    • For the dealership: the Qualified Individual, risk assessments, training, incidents, and dealership files such as the dealer license with their expiry dates.
    • Reminders: the owner gets an email 30 and 7 days before a dealership file expires, and the morning message names it.
    • Stays with you: inspecting the ID, deciding a possible match, writing your information security program and your Red Flags program, and confirming it all with your counsel.
Good to know

AutoDealer.io gives you compliance checks and records. It is not a law firm, a credit reporting agency or an identity verification provider, and it does not give legal, tax or compliance advice. OFAC screening matches names and flags possible matches for a person to review; it is not a guarantee against a sanctions violation. The notices are templates you complete and review. You remain responsible for your compliance, and for confirming your program with your own counsel.

What the compliance tools do, and what they don’t

What it does

  • Screens the buyer and co-buyer against the OFAC SDN and Consolidated lists when your team runs it
  • Refuses Mark sold until both are screened and any possible match is resolved
  • Notifies owners and admin managers when a screening flags someone
  • Keeps a five point Red Flags ID check on the deal, with who completed it and when
  • Generates the forms you tick, such as the privacy notice and the odometer statement, when the deal is marked sold
  • Tracks your Safeguards records: Qualified Individual, risk assessments, training and incidents
  • Writes screenings, decisions, ID checks and Safeguards records to the audit log

What it does not do

  • Screen anyone on its own when they are added to a deal
  • Clear an OFAC match. An owner or admin manager decides.
  • Verify that an ID is authentic, or run KYC. A person inspects the ID and attests.
  • Pull credit or make a credit decision
  • Write your information security program or your Red Flags program
  • Give legal advice or guarantee compliance
  • Let you download the audit log yourself. Support sends a copy on request.

Dealer compliance software FAQ

What the OFAC check, the Red Flags check and the Safeguards records do, and what stays with you and your counsel.

What is an OFAC check at a car dealership, and is it a credit check?

It is a sanctions check, not a credit check. The buyer’s and co-buyer’s names are matched against the U.S. Treasury OFAC lists, the SDN list and the Consolidated list with their aliases, refreshed every day. Matching is fuzzy on purpose, so it flags possible matches for a person to review, and an unresolved match blocks the sale. Nothing pulls credit or reports to a credit bureau.

How OFAC screening works 

Do I have to screen a cash deal, and who gets screened?

In AutoDealer.io, Mark sold is refused on any deal until the buyer, and the co-buyer if there is one, are screened under their current names, whatever the deal type or the amount. Those are the two people the app screens, by the names on their customer records. Whether anyone else in a deal should be checked is a question for your own compliance program and your counsel.

What do I do when a buyer comes back as a possible match?

An owner or admin manager opens the deal’s Compliance step and compares the listed entry, its match percentage, source list and sanctions program, with the buyer’s ID. Screening matches names only, so a date of birth or an address is checked against your own documents. Write a note, then choose Mark false positive if it is not your buyer, or Confirm hit if it is. A confirmed hit keeps the sale blocked: stop the transaction and follow your OFAC reporting obligations.

How to resolve a possible match 

Can a salesperson clear an OFAC match on their own deal?

No. A salesperson can run the screening and complete the Red Flags check, but only an owner or admin manager can resolve a match, and only they can look at a cleared match again. When a screening flags someone, every owner and admin manager gets a notification on the bell, except the person who ran it, and the morning message names a match that has waited a day.

Does the software verify that an ID is real, or is it a checklist?

It is a checklist a person completes. There is no identity verification or KYC vendor behind it, and nothing checks whether an ID document is genuine. The assistant can read a photo of a driver’s license to fill in a customer record, but that never ticks the checklist. Your staff member checks the buyer’s government-issued photo ID against five items, notes any discrepancy and attests, and the deal keeps that record with their name and the time.

How the Red Flags check works 

Does it send adverse action or risk-based pricing notices?

It gives you a starter template for each, labeled Draft in the app. You tick them on the deal’s Paperwork step, and they are filled from the deal when it is marked sold. Nothing sends them on its own. They do not fetch credit data or make a credit decision, and they are not legal advice: review them with your counsel before you use them. The privacy notice and the odometer statement are starters too.

Does it write my Safeguards program or my Red Flags program, and do I need a Qualified Individual?

It writes neither. The Compliance page tracks the parts of your Safeguards program: the Qualified Individual, risk assessments, training and incidents. It sets the owner who signs up as Qualified Individual from day one and shows the card in red if nobody is assigned. Writing the program, and deciding which parts of the rules apply to a dealership your size, is for you and your counsel. AutoDealer.io is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.

How the Safeguards records work 

Can the AI assistant clear a match or tell me a deal is clear to sell?

It can tell you, and it cannot clear. Ask “is this deal clear to sell?” or “anything blocking a sale?” and it reads the OFAC results, the Red Flags check and the Mark sold gate, for one deal or every open deal, and says what a person must do next. It can prepare a re-screen card for you to approve, and that card never runs on Autopilot. It never clears or confirms a match, and its own Mark sold meets the same OFAC gate.

Can I get the audit log for a lender or an examiner?

Yes, through support. Screenings, match decisions, Red Flags checks and Safeguards records are written to the audit log, which owners and admin managers read and filter on screen by staff member, action, record or date. There is no self-serve download of the audit log today. For a lender, an examiner or a dispute, our support team produces a copy for you.
