The Evolving Landscape for Management of Third Party Service Providers

Description:

After defining terms and determining exactly what a third party is, we explore the life cycle of third parties. This exploration includes detailed conversations on the risks associated with each step in that cycle. By highlighting the risks we can better design a management process assuring adequate controls and limiting the possibility of unexpected losses.

The session then moved on to an overview of third party management and detailed conversations around each of seven aspects of a strong risk management process for third parties.

Participants will also receive examples of third party risk assessments, report cards, dashboards and board reporting so that the in house management process is complete and up to date.

For any manager concerned about third parties this session is a must attend.

Why Should You Attend:

Over the past 15 years, the proliferation of third parties and the use of third parties have grown significantly. There ids not one business that does not use a third party service provider for some service, be it janitorial, technology, cash control, or even human resources and compliance.

The use of third parties has become a budget enhancement and in some cases even a productivity plus. However, many management teams do not fully understand the risks associated with the use of even the most respected third parties. This session delves into those risks and highlights suggested management practices that any middle manager, risk manager and business leader should understand.

Members of the Board of Directors could also gain insights into the risk associated with third party support, which can only enhance their oversight and governance practices.
