8 Case Study #2 Background Multinational conglomerate with decentralized oversight of export control compliance Multiple disclosures from various business units covering repeat or similar violations Uncoordinated and incomplete corrective actions evidenced a systemic company-wide problem Solution Company instituted policy to disclose all suspected violations and entered into a consent agreement Company centralized compliance oversight and began largescale reviews of problem areas Company developed IT solution to report, analyze, and track suspected violations through corrective action completion 1 5 DDTC Contact Information To check on correspondence from our office or to find out which Compliance Specialist is assigned to your disclosure, DTCC-CaseStatus@state.gov For all other matters, including substantive questions and inquiries regarding registration submittal or status and referrals, contact the DDTC Response Team Phone number: (202) DDTCResponseTeam@state.gov For general information, please visit DDTC s website 8

14 TRIAGE Making a potential violation report Provide all available information Identify all employees knowledgeable about the incident Be as complete as possible Attach any relevant documents, including the with the initial report Ensure that all related records are preserved Timeliness is very important Do not conduct an investigation, gather basic facts Do not unnecessarily delay forwarding the report Consider attorney-client privilege TRIAGE Why is timeliness critical? Certain violations must be disclosed immediately If violations are ongoing, immediate corrective action may be necessary to prevent additional violations Avoid aggravating factors: willfulness, reckless disregard, prior notice, awareness of conduct at issue Potentially take advantage of mitigating factors: remedial response, cooperation See EAR 766, Supplement 1 and ITAR
15 TRIAGE Corrective Actions Immediate corrective actions may be a judgement call some will be obvious, i.e., program is utilizing an expired TAA or citing a license exception that is not available for the recipient country Others may require coordination with Trade Compliance and others to confirm appropriate actions, i.e., a product classification may have changed on an existing license If a violation is identified Identify any ongoing activities Implement and document interim steps to prevent additional violations Consider whether EAR 764.5(f) (treatment of unlawfully exported items) request is necessary INVESTIGATING Note that investigation may need to expand beyond immediate transaction What was the root cause? Is the issue systemic? Has it occurred in the past or on other programs? Are other U.S. or foreign entities involved? Five year look back? 15
16 INVESTIGATING Corrective Actions Investigating will include identifying the necessary corrective actions What steps are required to immediately halt any ongoing violations? What steps will be required to ensure that violations are not repeated? Training of personnel Implementation or revision of policies and procedures Audit or assessment Who is responsible for implementing corrective actions? How will completion of corrective actions be tracked and confirmed? FOLLOW-UP Corrective actions must be completed and documented Failure to implement corrective actions and repeat violations are significant aggravating factors to our friends in the USG No one wants to have to disclose a violation again 16
17 TAKE-AWAYS Do not self-blind Provide complete information in a timely manner Identify the root cause Implement effective corrective actions Confirm corrective actions are working CONTACT INFORMATION U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, Export Management and Compliance Division Phone: (202) Thomas.Andrukonis@bis.doc.gov U.S. Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance DDTC Response Team Phone: (202) DDTCResponseTeam@state.gov Huffman Riley PLLC Phone: (202) jhuffman@huffmanriley.com 17
