About
Current media attention on government integrity issues and recent corruption scandals have turned up the heat on the defense industry. Can you afford the risk of non-compliance with new regulations and best practices?
Given the heightened scrutiny of defense industry practices and increasing enforcement
activity, having the government as your primary customer can create a myriad
of compliance challenges. Add vague export control regulations, recent corporate
scandals, and the corporate culture clashes due to the increasing consolidation
of the industry into the mix, and you have the potential for a full-blown compliance
catastrophe.
