Responsible Party

You need the service, approve the engagement, monitor how it performs and sign the renewal. The board is ultimately accountable for third-party risk; you are responsible for each arrangement in your area, day to day.

The course for this seat is in production. We will send one email when it opens.

Your seat and the two gaps it shares

When this seat works

Some roles are held by the same person. Each one still needs someone doing it. When someone does, this is what the organisation gets.

  • The organisation sets the terms of the relationship.
  • Ongoing monitoring is established and consistent.
  • Accountability is clear, so decisions get made.

Where your seat meets the other three

These are the gaps your seat shares. Close them and the arrangement holds.

  • Risk and Compliance

    Risk and Compliance sets the standard. You report against it, and escalate when the arrangement drifts outside appetite.

  • Procurement and Supply Chain

    Procurement runs the sourcing. You make the final selection and accept the risk, so be in the room when the requirements are set.

  • Third Party

    You depend on the third party every day. Performance, incidents and changes to their subcontractors come to you first.

Responsible Parties Managing Third-Party Delivery

For the executives and relationship owners who approve the engagement, monitor performance and sign the renewal: your accountability, the decisions that need your approval, and how to prepare for regulatory scrutiny.

Until it opens, TPRM Foundations, our third-party risk management (TPRM) course, covers the shared foundations every seat needs: where third-party risk sits, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) regulators, the eight risk domains and the lifecycle.

For your seat, it shows what Risk and Compliance and Procurement expect of you as the owner of an arrangement, before your own course opens.
