The Export Control Executive: Liability and Risk Management

Managing directors and board members are personally liable for violations of foreign trade law resulting from the company's organisational deficits. This liability cannot be delegated. Management has four core duties: organisation, personnel selection, information and monitoring. It is essential that these obligations and their fulfillment are integrated into the internal export control processes. Only then can sanctions for misconduct be averted or at least reduced.
Authorities and courts understand liability for compliance very broadly. Current rulings show that ignorance does not protect against punishment. Therefore, risk management and the organisation of internal export controls are essential for efficient export control management.
