Be Ready When a Trade Issue Escalates

During this closed door, smaller-group session, speakers and participants will discuss the finer points of managing trade compliance program investigations under pressure, including how to get ahead of potential enforcement actions, how to conduct a comprehensive, but confidential, internal investigation, how to write a persuasive voluntary disclosure-and more.

In addition to speaker-prepared reference materials and 3-hours of CLE legal credits, delegates will walk away with real-world guidance and key takeaways that will shape the main conference discussions to follow. Key topics will include:

  • Preventative maintenance and avoiding violations: Overlooked critical keys to internal controls transparency to avoid self-disclosure
  • Whistleblower considerations: Trends and specific challenges
  • Lifecyle of a voluntary disclosure: Conducting investigations and best practices
  • Enforcement action preparation: Consent agreements and heightened enforcement trend considerations
