In an age of increasingly globalised trade, companies are having to outsource more and more of their business operations to maximize productivity, profitability and growth. With this increased reliance on external suppliers and partners comes the increased risk that their acts and omissions will expose your company not only to commercial risks of loss of profit or reputation but compliance risks associated with global sanctions and export control requirements and fraud, bribery and corruption.
