Examination and audit staff are continuing to focus their attention on third party relationships. Recent headlines have been filled with high profile failures related to indirect lending, member business services, and participation loans. This new and exclusive webinar will help you examine the regulatory requirements for vendor due diligence, and review the details of creating an effective vendor management program.
Background Every time you utilize a critical vendor you are handing that vendor the keys to your kingdom. What could possibly go wrong, you ask? Everything!
