This panel will explore how risk assessments for counterfeit products can be used to drive internal
dialogue about larger brand protection and organizational needs, particularly as it relates to
approaching counterfeiting in a holistic and enterprise-wide fashion. The panel will also discuss how risk
assessments can help to identify and address silos and barriers between departments, as well as issues
affecting communication within the company and across disciplines, markets and brands. This session
will be based on practitioner experience and current and prior A-CAPP Center research on the topic of
counterfeiting risk assessments.
