Seven Steps for an Effective Compliance Program for the Buy American Statute and Trade Agreements Act

Are you selling your products or services to the U.S. Government? If so, what does your compliance program look like? There are seven different elements that you should have in place in order to be confident that your compliance program can be effective. The Buy American Statute (BAS) requires the U.S. Government to give a preference to U.S.-made goods over foreignmade goods in federal procurements.
