The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Third Party Risk Management & Assessment

NEW YORK - April 19, 2015 - PRLog -- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: Third Party Risk Management & Assessment: Imperative Advice in 2015 LIVE Webcast. This two-hour event is scheduled on May 1, 2015 at 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET.

Event Synopsis:

Several retailers entrusted with customer’s data have suffered theft of this data from purportedly secure servers. Overly zealous regulators have entered the fray and issued their own guidance on Third Party Risk Management, thereby creating over-lapping requirements dependent upon the types of services out-sourced by financial institutions. However, in fairness, most new requirements are an attempt to align third party governance to industry best practices.

Most companies depend on an extended network of suppliers and vendors. This network, un-monitored, is a serious potential source for data, security, reputation, and compliance risk. Most companies manage such risk by department and thereby leave themselves exposed to the weakest link when managing risk.

In a two hour live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an over-view of the increasingly serious issue of Third Party Risk Management & Assessment and discuss how companies and their counsel can strengthen their Third Party Risk Management and Assessment programs and ensure compliance with regulations in 2015 and beyond.

Key issues that will be covered include:

     ·         Third Party Relationships : An Overview

·         TPR Management: Significance and Implications

·         Latest TPR Management and Assessment Requirements

·         Effective Approaches to Meeting Third Party Obligations

·         Legal and Regulatory Compliance

·         Potential Penalties and Criminal Liability
