Management Consulting - Brunswick, OH, US
Companies that are engaged in global trade are required to have and maintain strong due-diligence policies and procedures that are in compliance with the ever-changing Federal alphabet soup of regulations. Conducting foreign sales (i.e. exporting) and being found non-compliance by a Federal regulating agency can lead to severe reputation damage, significant monetary fines and ultimately possible jail sentences. Ignorance of the regulatory requirements is no defense in the eyes of the Federal government. I can help you design, implement and maintain export compliance procedures to protect your reputation and business.An engagement with ACE will focus on reviewing and/or developing policies, procedures and internal controls to ensure: * proper vetting and documentation of foreign buyer/seller relationships for OFAC/SDN and KYC/EDD compliance; * proper identification, understanding and application of Export Administration (EAR) standards and will work with your logistics/freight forwarder for proper regulatory filings; * development of a nimble international sales 'risk' matrix based on real world factors like: customer relationship, Incoterms, product, country, currency and sales value to name several; * understanding how to access and utilize export receivable insurance and working capital financing programs (SBA/ExIm) as appropriate; * understanding how to use foreign-denominated sales techniques and foreign exchange hedging strategies as appropriateThese services can help bridge the gaps between sales, operations and reporting compliance efforts.
