On-Demand Webinar:
How to Improve Export Compliance with Effective Audits
All participants will receive a questionnaire for use in developing auditing tools!
Both State and Commerce Departments recommend and expect regular audits as part of their compliance program guidelines. Despite their negative image, export compliance audits are one of the most effective tools for improving and validating your compliance program. Whenever possible, audits should not be about digging to see how many violations you can find. Instead, audits should strive to find the weaknesses in your compliance program and spot clear options for making cost-effective improvements.
The Export Compliance Training Institute is pleased to announce that Felice Laird will use her 30 years of export compliance experience to lead a practical and instructive webinar on what you need to know about audits.
Outline of the webinar:
