Trade Compliance is a wide definition nowadays. The popular translation is “customs”, however it is broader than this. Covered areas should allow participants to cultivate the best reflexes when confronted with ethical dilemmas as well as raise or update their knowledge in different domains, in order to make bridges and gain in efficiency when managing compliance.
This session is about “International Trade Compliance”. It aims to inform the participants about the different forms of trade compliance like tariff classification, export controls and embargoes in order to minimize possible risks and costs for the company.
The whole cycle of 5 small-scale high-level courses covers compliance aspects of anti-corruption, antitrust, economic crime, data protection, privacy, export controls and economic santions, tax and accounting standards, customs requirements, etc.
All companies should provide this opportunity to their officers, employees and third parties on relevant laws, regulations, corporate policies and prohibited conduct. Anybody involved in one or more aspects of compliance has benefits of expanding its knowledge of other areas and reinforce its general skills about compliance. Sales peoples, particularly when involved in risky countries, can benefit from it, like any workforce confronted with complex situations involving conflicting values, beliefs and moral choices.
