There have been no signals from the U.S. government or its allies that export controls and financial crime legislation and regulations are going to soften, or the pace of change diminish.
Despite impending export reforms, indicators show that we can, in fact, expect the opposite.
Homeland security, export, financial crime and governance regulations dovetail to prohibit or restrict companies from exporting, importing, transferring or providing services of any kind to parties on denial,
debarment, and blocked persons lists. While failure to comply is a legal violation, the consequences of which can be criminal and/or civil prosecution, fines, and denial of export privileges,
it is the marketplace consequences that keep most board members and executives up at night.
