It’s essential for a company to conduct thorough export control risk assessments in order to truly protect itself from unintentional violations. Once a company knows the extent of its risk exposure, it will be equipped to determine the policies and procedures required for protecting against failure to comply with applicable export control regimes. Join this Workshop to gain the tools needed to carry out an effective risk assessment as well as a strategy for mitigating export control risks.
