Manufacturing and operations need continuous real-time trade compliance protection.
Market access is as much a matter of compliance regimes as of geography: the trade controls of the country in which production is located, and the trade agreements in force between the country of production, other countries in which the enterprise is located, and existing and target markets, can have significant implications for manufacturing and operations. Access to current, comprehensive compliance regulations and statutes is an important ingredient in informed decision-making processes.
In addition to ensuring market access, all companies need to ensure they do not sell to or buy from individuals or entities on the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list of Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs). No company wants to be publically exposed as dealing with terrorists, drug traffickers or weapons proliferators. Aside from the penalties and possible jail terms, the damage to professional and corporate reputations is often irreparable.
