(bright upbeat music) Let's go over the key elements to ensure that your organization remains in compliance with all export requirements. The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security has identified these elements as critical for an effective export compliance program, management commitment, risk assessment, export authorization, recordkeeping, training, audits, handling export violations, and a compliance manual. Organizations should use these elements as a foundation for crafting their own compliance program. Management commitment is a key part of being compliant. An export compliance program is more likely to be fully accepted by all employees and incorporated into daily operations if they see that management is committed to it. Management can show this commitment by publicly supporting all compliance policies and procedures, providing sufficient resources for employees to do their jobs, and supporting export compliance training.
