In this webinar, we’ll discuss the final guidance, what these new expectations are, and how to best improve your vendor management program.

2:30pm - 4:30pm EST

The agencies last year issued revised final guidance on managing the risks of third-party relationships that will replace existing guidance, and they have issued a few updates on specific issues since then. This reflects the fact that vendor management has been an important issue for a long time, but it is apparent that expectations are increasing. The rise of fintech companies and their participation in the industry has changed the landscape of risk in important ways, and financial institutions need to adapt.
