Financial crimes considerations in third-party risk management: Best practices and emerging threats financial services organizations should be aware of

In today’s rapidly evolving financial services landscape, organizations increasingly rely on third-party vendors to provide critical products and services. However, this reliance exposes organizations to a complex web of risks, including those related to financial crimes such as fraud, anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions violations.

This session dives into the essentials of third-party risk management (TPRM) and vendor management within the financial services industry, highlighting how robust frameworks can help identify, assess and mitigate risks posed by external partners. During this session, we will explore regulatory expectations, practical challenges and actionable strategies for integrating financial crimes considerations into your TPRM programs and review real-world case studies and emerging trends impacting vendor management and financial crime risk in the industry.
