Global Trade Top 10 for 2010
There is one common goal that all global traders should be working towards – making a positive impact on your company’s bottom line. A list of the top 10 critical tasks everyone should be undertaking to ensure success in 2010 was created by Beth Peterson Enterprises (BPE).
“With the beginning of 2010, everyone has the opportunity to start fresh in their global trade compliance initiatives,” noted Beth Peterson, President, BPE. “It is imperative, now more than ever, that the trade industry comply with global rules and regulations. While this list is not inclusive, it should enable compliance professionals to give a meaningful start to the new decade.”
Take the time to double check that your company is following these tasks:
- Review and/or develop objectives for the year
- Review contracts to ensure there are no barriers to achieving those objectives
- Develop or update your global risk analysis
- Establish an audit schedule for the year
- Identify training and educational requirements for the company, your team, yourself and your service providers
- Review the legislative landscape for pending regulations that will impact your company
- Meet with your sales and marketing team to understand their strategies for 2010
- Meet with your supply chain strategy team to identify new strategies or plans for 2010 that will require global trade compliance support from a planning perspective
- Review your compliance manuals and identify any processes, policies or procedures that require development or updating
- Finalize your annual budget
