At KPMG LLP (KPMG), our commitment to our clients inspires everything we do. It’s what enables us to deliver innovative and practical solutions to the most difficult export control and sanctions challenges – whether it’s assistance in the design and management of compliance programs or supporting every day operational needs.
The KPMG Global Export Controls and Sanctions group provides support on a wide range of global regulations, including those administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, U.S. Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, and other government agencies.
We offer a range of services to assist clients in enhancing export compliance processes, including:
Compliance Program Development
Our services are tailored around your unique business needs, helping you comply with export controls and sanctions regulations while facilitating business.
Risk Assessments
We evaluate business activities and internal controls to identify and mitigate risks related to global trade.

We also assist organizations with taking the necessary corrective actions by translating legal requirements into practical and executable solutions.
Classifications
Proper jurisdiction and classification is the most fundamental element when complying with export controls and is critical in reducing your company’s risk profile. KPMG supports jurisdiction and classification projects both large and small, helping you identify the export control requirements that apply to your products, software and technology.
Managed Services
The daily volume of international trade transactions can distract compliance professionals from strategy and high-priority issues. Our professionals perform operational tasks including classification, export and deemed-export license management, and restricted party screening “hit” resolution, with our help-desk services addressing your day-to-day challenges. Our ability to scale-up or down according to your changing needs reduces the costs of maintaining idle resources or overwhelming existing resources in times of increased activity.
Training
Based on your unique situation, our training services range from basic to advanced, and may include assessment, design, and execution, tailored to fit your needs.
Restricted Party Screening (RPS) System Optimization and “Hit” Resolution
At the forefront of innovation, KPMG can greatly increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your existing restricted party screening systems using technology and automation solutions to weed out most false-positives alerts, allowing human reviewers to focus on only the higher quality alerts. When added to KPMG managed services offerings above, even more time and expense can be freed and redirected towards core responsibilities.
M&A Pre and Post Deal Due Diligence
Our professionals are skilled in evaluating export compliance and sanctions risks prior to M&A activity and providing post-deal integration support for managing daily activities post-merger, as well as required program enhancements necessary for post-merger integration.
