World events in the past two years – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the evolving US policy towards China being the most high profile – have brought a clear and rapid response from governments in their trade policy, procedures and controls. In addition, efforts to protect national security and human rights through tougher export and import controls have brought more and complex regulation to trade compliance teams to navigate.

In this session, members of the Global Export Controls & Sanctions team at KPMG will assess the raft of regulatory measures and pressures – UN sanctions, US sanctions, EU restrictive measures, export controls on tech, to name but a few – which demand the attention of Trade Compliance teams today, and will consider the best and most efficient ways in which to navigate the regulatory storm to the shores of successful compliance.
