About the Webinar

At the heart of every credit and risk management decision is Knowing Your Customer. Do you “Know your Customer” from a credit risk perspective? Does your company have a sound Compliance and Ethics Policy in relation to Credit Risk Management?

Is the company policy sufficient for current regulations within your own country in which you operate? Do you know which authorities oversee non-compliance and the enforcement penalties? Are you up to date on treaties, embargoes, sanctions and other export control regulations?

This session will examine not only the additional elements needed when extending credit globally but also present an overview of warning signs and red flags.
