Compliance
Strategies
The most common risk of non-compliance that business managers are most familiar with is when immigration authorities turn people away at the border and prohibit them from entering the country they intend to visit or work in. Poor planning, advice, and/or documentation disrupt business activities because employees cannot obtain permission to enter a country or conduct activities they need to engage in a timely fashion due to immigration restrictions.
When employees go abroad, not only in traditional expatriation but also on short term assignments and business travel, multinational companies face significant hidden risks with immigration rules and regulations. The goal of compliance is not to eliminate risk; rather, it is about assessing and effectively managing the variables and uncertainty.
