Abstract:
The authors find that companies often overlook the risks posed by shortcomings in the trade compliance programs of their third-party business partners. In this article they describe two recent cases that illustrate such risks. They then suggest remedial steps in initial and follow-up due diligence, entering or renewing contracts, and responding to red flags.Keywords: Epsilon Electronics, Inc. v.
