Still have questions?

  • Many of our clients have an individual who handles the Export Compliance work. However, this does not mean the employee they have is sufficient for all their needs by themselves. Often the situation is that a single employee who has a host of other responsibilities not related to compliance is put in charge of the business’ Export Compliance work. They are not an expert, and they do not have enough time to keep up with the demands or remain up to date on the changes in government regulations. As a result, mistakes are made that can carry serious consequences. We work with these individuals, taking the brunt of the load and coordinating with the employee to make sure your business is compliant with new business and existing business.

A Voluntary Disclosure of misconduct to the government might seem intimidating, but in reality, it is the best action you can take when you discover wrongdoing. When the government is considering penalties it takes into account mitigating circumstances, and the strongest circumstances include proof that you have identified the problem and are taking hard steps to rectify the situation and ensure such problems never reoccur. This requires setting up a strong Export Compliance Program, one fo the many services we offer.
