CFT260908-Future-Ready Trade: Navigating Export Controls in a Complex Global Landscape
CFT260908
Overview
Export controls are increasingly shaping how companies trade, invest and operate across borders. Once confined to specialised compliance functions, they have become a material enterprise‑level and board‑level risk, driven by geopolitical rivalry, technology controls and regulatory divergence.
This CFOTI programme is designed to help Singapore‑based enterprises anticipate and manage export control risks in a complex and fast‑evolving global trade environment. The programme focuses on practical, enterprise‑level implications, equipping decision‑makers and practitioners with the insights needed to operate confidently while preserving competitiveness and trusted trade.
Registration begins at 9:15 AM.
Secure your spot and stay ahead in global trade.
