Atlas Introduces
its Export Management Compliance Program (EMCP): Export
requirements may seem overwhelming without a system to capture analysis,
decisions, accountability and implementing procedures. An EMCP takes
individual decisions and pieces of information and builds them into
an organized, integrated system. It is a program which can be established
to manage export-related decisions and transactions to ensure compliance
with export Regulations.
Atlas Electronic Systems implemented the first
phase of their EMCP in December of 2010 and will complete this task
by the end of July 2011. We take our commitment to the letter and
spirit of export regulations seriously.
An EMCP can:
Reinforce senior management commitment to comply with U.S. export
laws and regulations to all parties within the company.
Provide management structure and organization for the processing of
export transactions.
Enhance accountability for export control tasks by identifying who
is responsible for performing each part of the process and who is
responsible for overall effectiveness of the EMCP.
Provide compliance safeguards throughout AES's supply chain to
ensure order processing and due diligence checks produce consistent
export decisions.
Provide written instructions for employees to blend into their daily
responsibilities to "screen" export transactions against
general prohibitions of exports, re-exports and selected transfers
to certain end-uses and end-users.
Serve as a vehicle to communicate red flag indicators that raise questions
about the legitimacy of a customer or transaction.
Provide personnel with tools to help them ensure they are performing
their export control functions accurately and consistently.
Identify transactions that could normally be exported without a license,
but because of the end-use or end-user, require a license.
Streamline the process and reduce time spent on compliance activities
when employees have written instructions, tools and on-going training.
Protect employees through training and awareness programs from inadvertently
violating the EAR.
