Mai is an analyst who works for a large international company. She is tasked with creating and maintaining best
transportation practices for the company. She has recently done the following work: she examined the company's
compliance with the Trade Act of 2002 and other CBP policies; she also ensured that all employees were certified
through the Transportation Worker Identification Certification (TWIC) program and the Customs Trade Partnership
Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification. Several members of the board have told her that they are worried about rising
shipping costs and intrusive regulations; and now the board of the company is concerned that her analysis of the
company's current best transportation and shipping practices was incomplete. Based on the facts here, what is her next
best step?
O Recommend that the company should no longer waste time and money meeting all standards set by TWIC and C-TPAT.
O Do a quick survey of the existing best practices and current transportation needs and give the board her best guesses as to their
legal impact.
Report the company to the SEC since they are treating her as though she is a whistleblower.
Study current transportation needs in tandem with transportation spending and compare those against projections in both areas for
the next several years.
