In this down economy many companies are searching for new global opportunities in emerging markets. These new locations can present unusual challenges such as; corruption, organized crime, weak laws, unenforceable contracts, terrorist financing and money laundering. These are all common threats that have to be identified, assessed and mitigated prior to entering into a business relationship.

Effective risk management is key - you need to know who you are dealing with.
