WASHINGTON, April 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced the launch of an Export Controls and Sanctions offering within its Forensic & Litigation Consulting segment, enhancing the firm’s investigations, compliance and monitoring capabilities for multinational companies and law firms in an area that governments and regulators are increasingly scrutinizing.
The Export Controls and Sanctions offering at FTI Consulting includes compliance program assessment and design, implementation and remediation; investigations and disclosures; independent monitoring or related support services; supply chain and third-party risk management; trade control audits and reviews; license application preparation and license management support; de minimis calculation analysis; deemed export control reviews; wind-down support for sanctioned country operations; and compliance crisis management.
Professionals will work with FTI Consulting’s existing anti-corruption and compliance, anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing experts, and cross-segment technical capabilities around the world to advise companies facing regulatory actions.
“The complexities and changing nature of export control and sanction regulations require companies to undertake vigilance, ongoing training and continuous process improvement, particularly as governments have signaled additional enforcement and trade disputes have increased,” said Paul Ficca, Global Leader of the Forensic & Litigation Consulting segment at FTI Consulting. “Working with our established teams of experts in compliance, monitorships and investigations globally, our Export Controls and Sanctions offering will continue our investment to help companies address the challenge of integrating the necessary controls into their business processes.”
