Multinational companies are facing increased pressure to comply with sanctions and evolving regulations in global trade

TORONTO, September 28, 2023 – Thomson Reuters (NYSE/TSX: TRI), a global content and technology company, today announces a series of updates to ONESOURCE Global Trade. From advanced features in denied party screening of supply chain partners and customers, to global regulatory updates, multinationals will benefit from simplified processes as part of ONESOURCE Global Trade’s most recent release.

In global trade operations, the months ahead will continue to bring a greater need for tools to facilitate compliance, with shifting and new regulations coming into force worldwide. Alongside challenges brought by inflation and supply chain shortages and disruption, nearly half (46%) of trade professionals working in corporate departments see retaliatory tariffs as the area most likely to impact operations for corporate businesses, shows the 2023 Corporate Global Trade Survey from Thomson Reuters.

“Our latest study tells us our customers are struggling under the weight of data-intensive demands brought about by today’s import and export trading environment,” said Ray Grove, Head of Product, Transactional Compliance at Thomson Reuters. “For trade leaders in multinational companies, prioritizing cross-border compliance and duty optimization is critical to long-term business success. We are helping customers optimize their global trade operations with greater insights and simplified processes, making compliance and cost savings more accessible for tax professionals in corporate trade teams.”
