Description

WITH INCREASING U.S. AND LOCAL COMPLIANCE RISKS, AUDITS AND SECURITY THREATS, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE CRUCIAL TIME TO ATTEND THIS CONFERENCE!

As your organization operates amid difficult and expedited timeframes for winning and managing wartime contracts, it is critical to properly address the very unique U.S. and local compliance challenges affecting your bottom line, as well as the security of your personnel.   Amid rapid policy and regulatory changes, you need to stay on top of the latest developments toward preventing harsh civil and criminal penalties, adverse DCAA audit findings, and lost business opportunities.

Failing to optimize your contract and subcontract management can delay you from receiving support or materials, jeopardize your profitability, increase your organization s exposure, and heighten the risk of injury or death of your employees.   

American Conference Institute s National Summit on Iraq and Afghanistan Contracting is the only event that will provide you with comprehensive U.S. and local insights on minimizing the legal, compliance and security risks affecting your operations on the ground.  At this unique, must-attend event, you will get up to speed on U.S. and local requirements and customs from a faculty of U.S. and foreign speakers, including senior government officials, industry executives, attorneys and accountants.  After attending this practical summit, you will take away proven-effective strategies for doing business in Iraq and Afghanistan- two very distinct environments with specific challenges affecting your organization s ability to win and perform contracts.

Critical topics will include how to:

  • Manage the practical impact of changing wartime policies, reports, DoD initiatives  and local customs affecting your business
  • Vet, manage and select  U.S. and local subcontractors, host country nationals and third country subcontractors
  • Reduce the security threats affecting your employees to mitigate the risks of  injury and death, and optimize contract performance
  • Satisfy strict requirements for registering your business in Iraq
  • Prepare and respond to increased DCAA audits during overseas contingency operations
  • Prevent harsh civil and criminal violations under the False Claims Act
  • Comply with anticorruption and antibribery laws and regulations, and reduce the risk of  hefty FCPA penalties
  • Minimize delays in shipments of materials and technology transfers due to export compliance challenges
  • Manage personal injury, wrongful death and insurance  claims
