Policies & Procedures
Client Challenge: The responsible officials at the company have to decide upon, and implement, a wide variety of important corporate policies. Here are a few examples of the questions they must ask themselves:
Is the corporate commitment to export controls strong and well coordinated?
- Has senior management recently issued a compliance Policy Statement?
- Are compliance personnel and responsibilities clearly identified?
- Are there adequate resources deployed (staff and money) to maintain compliance?
Is there adequate awareness of, and protection against, technology transfers?
- Does the company employ or contract with Foreign Nationals?
- Is compliance reviewed in dealing w/ contractors, distributors, affiliates, etc.?
- Are there adequate provisions for physcial and information security?
Is there a strong order processing system?
- Are all the neccessary risk screens conducted?
- Is the recordkeeping adequate in all departments?
- Is there adequate follow-up on license requirements?
CTP Solution: We can help in two ways. First, we can conduct an Assessment/Audit to guage the effectiveness of the various policies/procedures that are required by government or recommended as "best practice" and offer prioritized recommendations for remediation. Next, we can work with company experts to design and implement a comprehensive Export Management System, or to enhance the one that already exists.
