Trade compliance failures reach the board whether or not the board knew about them, and most of the cost is decided long before anyone technical is involved. This programme is pitched at the level that signs off risk rather than the level that processes declarations: what the exposures actually are, how to see them, and what good governance over them looks like in practice.

The 5 modules

Module 1
What can go wrong, and how to govern it

International trade risk for directors and boards - why it is a board matter, and the blind spots that keep it off the risk register.

Module 2
Where trade risk sits: customs, VAT and indirect tax

The two largest financial exposures in international trade, how they arise, and how retrospective they can be.

Module 3
Contractual, sales-driven and supply chain risk

Risk created by the terms your own business agrees, and by the suppliers and routes it depends on.

Module 4
Exposure mapping and the cost of poor governance

Building a picture of where the business is actually exposed, and what weak control has cost businesses that found out late.

Module 5
What good looks like: the board's role and diagnostics

The questions a director should be asking, the controls that evidence an answer, and how diagnostics keep the picture current.
