Vendor Management Seminar

HELLO WORLD

Start: July 30, 2024 10:00 AM CST

Finish: July 31, 2024 1:00 PM CST

This seminar will assist community banks in navigating the critical considerations needed to effectively implement a sound vendor management program.

Community banks may outsource a service, but they cannot outsource the responsibility. In a financial environment wrought with strong enforcement actions, rising regulatory expectations, and massive data breaches, community banks must understand and manage a secure network of relationships to ensure customer data, bank transactions, business activity, and shareholders are protected.

Relationships with third-party vendors are commonplace and many provide a strategic advantage; however, the rewards aren't without risk to financial institutions. Intense regulatory scrutiny and variations in third-party service application are challenging the risk management practices utilized by today's community banks.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will examine the vendor management lifecycle and discuss:

  • Effective strategies for vendor selection.

  • Evaluating risk associated with service providers.

  • Guidelines for structuring your vendor agreements.

  • Methods for monitoring and measuring success of your third-party vendors.

  • Throughout the seminar practical advice and guidance will be shared including:

  • How to remove the guesswork related to employee responsibility and vendor management.

  • Key compliance considerations to monitor service provider relationships.

  • New policy, procedures, and retention strategies.
