Compliance Program Design

 

trade compliance program

How comfortable are you with the integrity of your company’s trade compliance program? If your answer falls along the lines of “not very” or “I’m not sure,” you are not at all alone. Many companies, in fact, have been overwhelmed by what can seem like an overly complex and ever-changing maze of regulatory dos and don’ts.

The good news is that your situation can be remedied -- and we can help! Adams Consulting can work with you to succinctly determine your import/export compliance needs and design a “cradle-to-grave” system that integrates easily into your company’s existing workflows.

Advantages that set us apart include:

A Focused Start: We offer the flexibility for you to choose the initial scope and size of your Compliance Program, by business unit or area of regulatory focus, for example.

Planned Progress: We design your Program with scalability in mind so that you can expand it over time.

Usable Tools: We draft your Compliance Program Manual using your company’s document formatting and control specifications or our own if you prefer.

Continuous Care: We maintain a Compliance Program and Manual update schedule for you at your request.

trade compliance risk assessment

Is your internal supply chain vulnerable to a compliance failure? Do you know if any of your vendors, customers or logistics providers pose a potential risk to your company’s security profile? How susceptible is your product mix to targeted enforcement scrutiny? Do your import, export and dangerous goods shipping documents reflect the very latest regulatory protocols and industry standards?


These are among the questions Adams Consulting uses to determine your company’s import/export compliance risk. Using our 12-point model, we work with you to research the answers. We analyze and document our findings for you in a confidential and securely-maintained Risk Assessment Report.

trade compliance awareness and strategies

Does your company’s Management Team use trends in global supply chain policy and compliance to its strategic advantage?


Do your employees in procurement, customer care, transportation, distribution, human resources and other key departments have the depth of knowledge to prevent and properly respond to a potential trade compliance violation?


Do all employees have a general awareness of the safety and security issues critical to your business – and of your company’s expectations for individual conduct?

Knowledge really is power! At the very minimum, those who participate in international trade must achieve and maintain a basic working knowledge of the regulatory issues that affect them. At the ideal, those who aim to maintain a competitive edge use a focused combination of training and other tools to attain a strategic body of knowledge.


Adams Consulting can help you to develop a training program that best meets your company’s needs.


Our training services include:

> Issue-Specific Briefings for Senior Management

> Function-Specific Training for Key Staff Members
