WHO NEED A 3PRM™ SOLUTION?

If your organisation requires any of the following within your compliance checklist, then you must consider a third-party risk management solution:

  • Have a lack of visibility or understanding danger of the risks posed by your relationships with many types of third parties?
  • Want greater visibility into third-party performance and risks?
  • Need to improve operational costs, process, efficiencies, and organisational agility associated with your third-party relationships?
  • Need to gain greater control over the related risks?
  • Want to be confident that third parties are compliant with your business’ policies, as well as their own—based on government regulations and industry requirements?

WHY IS THIRD PARTY RISK MANAGEMENT A CRITICAL STEP FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

TPRM is especially critical when your business:

  • Performs pre-merger & acquisition research
  • Conducts due diligence
  • Engages new clients
  • Employs, contracts or retains foreign business partners
  • Requires a consistent, audit-worthy anti-money laundering and anti-corruption compliance program

Implementing TPRM helps you avoid:

  • Merging with an international business embroiled in behind-the-scenes legal battles
  • Getting caught up in making procurement decisions involving the inappropriate influence of government officials who were slated to receive kickbacks
  • Partnering with organisations that are potential credit risks, have claimed bankruptcy, have dissolved stated companies or are faced with debtor filings.
  • Awarding work to an overseas contractor with absolutely no prior experience
  • Affiliating with a contracting company owned by a politician with significant influence on future awards
