      On Thursday, 26 September 2024, our webinar on Third-Party Risk Management in cooperation with Coupa took place.

      During this webinar in cooperation with Coupa we provided insights on:

      • What is the Driving the Growing Relevance of TPRM

        Companies increasingly rely on third parties due to outsourcing, globalization, and digitalization, increasing risks in supply chains. Cybersecurity concerns, regulatory compliance, and reputational damage are also significant issues, necessitating robust security standards and robust regulatory compliance.

      • Europe's Legal Environment Is Still Changing

        The EU is introducing and amending laws affecting businesses in Europe, focusing on cybersecurity, sustainability, and operational resilience, with a global influence.

      • Regulations

        The EUDR, LKSG, Swiss Law, CSDDD, DORA, NIS1, NIS2, EBA and DORA are global regulations aimed at enhancing human rights and environmental due diligence in supply chains. They focus on transparency, ethical practices, corporate social responsibility, cybersecurity, and risk management in the financial sector.

      • TPRM Services Provided by Coupa

        The software offers vendor risk management tools, vendor onboarding, risk monitoring, compliance management, issue and performance management, and supplier collaboration and integration to streamline the onboarding process, ensure regulatory compliance, and promote operational efficiency and compliance.

      • Operating Mode

        The Unified Framework integrates supplier and risk management, promoting collaboration and data sharing for efficient supply chain performance optimization and risk reduction.

      • Risk framework

        Risk identification, evaluation, mitigation strategies, and monitoring are crucial processes in managing third-party relationships, ensuring smooth operations, and preventing potential issues.

      • Risk Aware and Risk Assess

        The company encourages a proactive risk culture in which risks are recognized and understood early on and considered when making strategic decisions. To evaluate and quantify risks for well-informed risk tolerance and mitigation strategies, it also employs structured methodologies.

      • Gather, Evaluate, Handle, and Track Third-Party Data in One Location

        The centralized platform manages all third-party data, from onboarding documents to risk assessments, ensuring data accuracy and comprehensive overview. It streamlines management and compliance by providing a full view of relationships and risks and automates ongoing monitoring.

      • An organization seeks to enhance its supplier onboarding procedure, encompassing the entire TPRM process

        The client faces issues like slow onboarding, lack of supplier risk visibility, and non-compliance with regulations. A comprehensive overhaul aims to enhance the onboarding experience and introduce automation for improved data accuracy.

      • Using Powered Methodology, KPMG assisted the client in transforming their supplier onboarding and TPRM processes

        KPMG's Powered Methodology offers structured, accelerated transformation using industry best practices and technology. It optimizes the entire TPRM process, from vendor onboarding to continuous risk monitoring, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

      • A Future-Ready TPRM and Supplier Onboarding Process Were the Outcome of the Successful Implementation

        The new TPRM process is scalable, capable of handling more suppliers, and increasing regulatory requirements. It ensures compliance with current and future regulations, improves operational efficiency, reduces risk, and aids decision-making. Its continuous monitoring and adaptability to evolving regulations ensure its effectiveness over time.
