American Conference Institute's 4th National Forum on

Export Enforcement & Investigations

Thursday, January 29 to Friday, January 30, 2009
Four Points By Sheraton, Washington, DC

Can Your Company’s Export Compliance Program Withstand the Heat?

Export enforcement activity continues to capture headlines. Criminal prosecutions of export cases have substantially increased, unprecedented levels of new civil and criminal fines are being applied, and export enforcement agencies are investing more resources and cooperating during their export enforcement efforts. The stepped-up enforcement focus and additional resources bring substantive changes in the standard of care expected of exporters and re-exporters.

All companies engaging in international sales or transfer of sensitive information or technology must be vigilant about preventing, detecting and investigating potential export control violations before they result in a costly and damaging export enforcement action.

Now in its fourth successful year, this critically acclaimed American Conference Institute “National Forum on Export Enforcement and Investigations” has once again assembled an exceptional faculty of top business, legal and government officials who will provide you with practical information on how to defend your case and mitigate export control violations. Highlights from the program include:

  • What triggers a DDTC-mandated audit
  • How enforcement and regulatory efforts are coordinated across agencies
  • When to waive and when not to waive privilege
  • How deemed export violations are discovered and what triggers an FBI or ICE visit
  • How export enforcement agencies are implementing the retroactive application of new IEEPA penalties
  • Establishing an effective working relationship with a monitor
  • How increased BIS and OFAC penalties will impact voluntary disclosures
  • Preparing company officials for interviews with government investigators and auditors
  • Export enforcement in Europe and what it means for U.S. exporters
