Export Control Risk Assessments

Webinar | 12.17.20, 7:00 AM EST - 8:30 AM EST

How effective is your company’s export control compliance program?  Are your company’s day to day operations in line with your policies and procedures? How do you benchmark to industry compliance standards?  In the words of DDTC, “[c]ontinuous export control self-assessment… is a best practice that complements and ensures a successful ITAR compliance program.” 


During this 90 minute webinar, Crowell & Moring’s export control attorneys will be joined by the experienced export control professionals with Defense Trade Solutions to discuss key principles of export control self-assessments; including developing audit goals and scope, methodologies and processes for conducting audits, and strategies for carrying findings and recommendations forward. We’ll wrap up with a seasonal example of export control risks presented by Clif Burns.  


Speakers: Clif Burns, Audrey Sutton (Senior Consultant, Defense Trade Solutions), Steve Casazza (Vice President, Defense Trade Solutions), Jana del-Cerro, and Chandler Leonard
