Assessing ITAR Compliance Programs
Tue, Mar 21, 2023 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM EDT
Special two-hour event
Featuring Audrey Sutton, Solutions Team Lead, Defense Trade Solutions This webinar will take a deep dive into the State Department's recently published ITAR Compliance Program Guidelines and their prescription for a healthy, risk-based trade compliance program that keeps pace with the daily business developments of an organization.
We will discuss three key principles common to all trade compliance programs:
- No two companies are alike, so each company’s compliance program should address its unique business operations and risk factors.
- All companies make mistakes, and it is how they respond to and learn from them that counts (in the eyes of investors, the public, and regulators).
- Healthy, robust, and dynamic compliance programs identify and respond to gaps, ensuring that noncompliance does not become systemic.
How To Demonstrate Your Company’s Social Compliance Responsibilities

Besides meeting brand requirements, it also increases workforce satisfaction and efficiency.
In close cooperation with American River Group, CATTS’ Social Compliance and ESG experts will host a webinar to address the importance and the impact of setting up a Social Compliance Program and walk you through the assessment steps.
