Webinar:  Trade Compliance Assessment: An Executive Tool for 2021

Wednesday, January 13, 2021
10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Pacific time (1:30 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern time)

Join us for this interactive “webinar” with our industry experts on an overview of the Trade Compliance Assessment program with a focus on the fine points of conducting an effective assessment.

Internal audits are an important requirement for an effective compliance program. Learn when to perform internal audits versus external assessments and understand their use as an executive tool in evaluating people, processes, and systems. We’ll also share how to use assessments to communicate the benefits of a compliance program to the management.

From this “Trade Compliance Assessment: An Executive tool for 2021″ program you will get an overview of the “Assessment life cycle”, including:

• Why perform an Assessment?
• Types of Assessments
• Planning and conducting an Assessment
• Challenges of an Assessment
• Reports and risk Assessment
• Disclosures – Business decisions/Strategy
• and other related Assessment topics

It is ideal for Export-Import Compliance professionals who want to build a trade compliance assessment program and for those who want to apply the appropriate audit tools and techniques to improve their existing assessment program. Learn from the experts how your corporation can build and implement an effective assessment program. The seminar can be attended either in person or via webinar.
