Trade Compliance ROI: What Do I Get For My Compliance Dollar?

Why Should You Attend:

• Where should you invest?
• What do you know about free trade agreements, duty draw back, first sale, and foreign (free) trade zones?
• How can you measure investment and return?
• Where can you find reports that break down your current costs and how do you use that intelligence to measure returns?
• What are those costs and how do you identify them and assign a dollar value to them?
• Do you automate, can you automate?

When selling trade compliance you need to know how to calculate risk, and you need to be able to assign a dollar value to that risk. Many C-level leaders see risk as a cost of doing business, at least until they see it in dollars. There are requirements and costs to use most cost savings programs.

Outsourcing does not relieve a business of responsibility, when all risks are identified it can alter the direction a business may take. If risk and return are identified and measured it becomes much easier to determine where investments should be made. This webinar will answer these questions and address these areas of concern.
