Overview
During this period of geopolitical competition and conflict, dynamic regulatory changes, and aggressive enforcement, the rules of international trade are affecting U.S. and multinational corporations in all industries, financial institutions, investors, and even governments as never before. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), each play a critical role in developing, administering, and enforcing the intricate web of export controls and sanctions restrictions governing global trade in U.S. (and, in some cases, non-U.S.) products and technologies, the business dealings of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, and investments and other financial transactions that make cross-border commerce possible.
Understanding the potential scope and applicability of these various laws and regulations to global business operations – and developing an effective program to ensure compliance with such laws and regulations – is increasingly important as the rules continue to become more complex and more aggressively enforced.
Faculty will discuss:
- The basic elements of the export control regimes administered by BIS and DDTC (25 minutes)
- The various economic sanctions programs administered by OFAC (25 minutes)
- Enforcement trends (10 minutes)
