Who it is for
Built for the Procurement and Supply Chain seat.
Procurement and sourcing leads, category managers, contract managers and supplier relationship managers working at or supporting regulated financial services organisations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. You do not need a risk background. The course shows where risk sits in the sourcing, contracting and onboarding work you already do, and how to use what you find in the deal.
By the end of the course you will be able to

Curriculum
Three shared foundations, then four modules built for your seat.
Modules 01 and 03 are shared across all four Academy core courses, and Module 03 comes in two parts: the eight risk domains, then the eight lifecycle stages. Modules 04 to 07 are written for Procurement and Supply Chain. Module numbers are the same in every Academy course, which is why this course goes from 01 to 03: Module 02, on the APAC regulators, sits in the Risk and Compliance course, and here the regulators come up where they apply to procurement. Take the modules in the order you choose.

Third-Party Risk: Where It Sits, Who Owns It, and Why Now
Emery places third-party risk inside the risks your organisation already manages, introduces the four seats at the table, and shows through three verified APAC cases why regulators are raising the standard now.

Eight Risk Domains and the Third-Party Lifecycle
One framework, two parts. Part A: the eight risk domains, what each one covers, and the one question each raises about any third party. Part B: the eight lifecycle stages, what each is for, and how the domains and stages work together.
