Vendor Management Seminar

Aug 1 - Aug 2, 2023 | VIRTUAL EVENT

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.
