The purpose of an export compliance program is to catch potential violations before they happen. However, sometimes a potential violation is not identified until after an incident has already taken place. Additionally, the significant regulatory revisions to the ITAR and EAR have added to the complexity of overall export compliance by shifting jurisdiction or altering relevant regulatory criteria.

In this webinar, we will discuss the fundamentals of an export compliance program and run through a cradle-to-grave example of how to handle an investigation of potential violations of the ITAR and EAR. This discussion will highlight the key issues and questions that arise, and provide participants with best practices and strategies. In addition, we will discuss insights into how DDTC and BIS handle investigations and how to prepare effective voluntary disclosures.

Led by a former senior member of DDTC who advised the FBI on criminal export enforcement investigations, this webinar is intended to get organizations up-to-speed on administering an effective compliance program and to deal with the voluntary disclosure process before DDTC and BIS steps in.
