From time to time, companies may discover that they've
violated export, economic sanctions, anti-corruption, or customs
laws and must decide whether to self-disclose to the U.S.
government agency that enforces the regulation in question. When
considering a voluntary disclosure, companies must weigh all facts
and circumstances leading to the potential violation, as well as
the advantages and disadvantages associated with disclosure.
This Voluntary Self-Disclosure Handbook was created to provide a
concise summary of the voluntary disclosure procedures administered
by various U.S. government agencies.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
