Lessons from United Technologies Corporation Export Control Violations

Lead-In: Compliance with export controls is crucial in the aerospace industry. The United Technologies Corporation case highlights the risks of inadequate internal reporting mechanisms.

Blog Content: In 2012, United Technologies Corporation was fined $75 million for illegal software exports to China. Internal employees were aware of potential violations but lacked an effective channel to escalate these concerns. An independent whistleblower system could have facilitated prompt reporting to external authorities, potentially preventing these violations. This case illustrates the importance of independent oversight in adhering to complex international regulations.
