THIRD-PARTY MANAGEMENT ESSENTIALS

Financial institutions have had specific vendor management guidance to follow for decades. Each primary financial institution regulatory body has issued specific requirements for working with third parties. To avoid costly fines, reputation risk, and consumer harm, vendor management must be embedded in all lines of business. Siloed approaches to vendor management are outdated. This program provides a thorough review of the basic requirements and guidance for sustaining a compliant and risk-based program.
