KPMG recognizes the increasing demands and complex tasks facing today’s chief trade compliance director. We can help you cut through the complexities involved in managing a trade department.

His or her initial questions invariably may be, “Where should I start? What should I do to ensure that my first 100 days are a success?” The answers usually depend on the industry, circumstances of the organization, and uniqueness of the challenge, yet there are some leading practices that transcend industries.
