D-Tracker: Governance of Third Parties and Risk Management
Keep partners close for better management and mitigation of risks
Among the main factors that drive the need for improved governance of third parties and risk management are expectations of growth in outsourced services in organizations, new regulations in the domestic and international sectors and the high speed at which information is released in the digital era.
To remain competitive and in line with market trends, organizations are increasingly attempting to improve management of third parties and suppliers and how they handle vulnerabilities in the various dimensions of their business, mainly with respect to risks that can damage their image and reputation.
An increasingly common practice
The global survey "Third-party governance and risk management: focusing on the climb ahead", conducted by Deloitte, shows how extended enterprise risk management (EERM) has continued to benefit from greater executive awareness allowing organizations to tackle the topic with renewed focus and investment. This is even more important due to the threats of high profile business failure, illegal third-party actions, or regulatory action with punitive fines.
