Overview
The Anti-Corruption Report quoted Yousuf Aftab in an article titled, "Risk Assessment for Trump 2.0: Reassessing in the Great American Reset." The article explains how President Trump's second term has triggered a broad shift in enforcement priorities, leading to a systemic realignment in corporate compliance areas such as foreign bribery, export controls, and sustainability disclosures. It urges companies to reassess outdated risk evaluations from the pandemic era and highlights key risk areas to focus on in the current regulatory landscape.
Speaking to The Anti-Corruption Report about these risks, Aftab said: "Each human rights risk is also a brand risk, an investor risk, and an operational risk. Legal compliance risk can be managed in a way that is straightforward, but a human rights or modern slavery problem would create severe risk for investor performance and certainly creates vulnerability at the brand level. Like cybersecurity, data privacy and AI, human rights and modern slavery risks are multidimensional and complex. Some elements of the risk are legal, but other elements are financial, technical, social and ethical."
