Third-Party Risk Without the Headaches: Smarter Oversight in the Age of AI
Description: Third-party risk management (TPRM) is one of the most complex and high-stakes areas of compliance today. Vendors aren’t just service providers — they’re extensions of your institution, carrying operational, regulatory, and reputational risk. And with artificial intelligence now embedded in vendor services, oversight just got trickier.
This session is designed for professionals who want to simplify oversight without sacrificing control. Led by Branan Cooper, a seasoned risk and compliance executive, this training walks through how to ask the right questions, verify what matters, and monitor vendors effectively — especially when AI is part of the equation. You’ll leave with frameworks, tools, and real-world examples to make your third-party risk program smarter, safer, and regulator-ready.
Who This Is Designed For: Compliance officers, vendor risk managers, oversight teams, operations and procurement leaders, and risk professionals managing partner/vendor relationships — especially in fintech, banking, and payments
Agenda
- Reframing Third-Party Risk: Why due diligence is more than checklists — and what regulators expect now.
- Beyond the Checklist: How to assess vendor risk based on function and impact, not just paperwork.
- Where AI Fits in TPRM: Use AI to streamline assessments, monitor performance, and detect emerging risks.
- AI as a Vendor: Oversight challenges when the “third party” is an algorithm or AI-powered platform.
- Contracts, Controls, and Ongoing Oversight: Build agreements and monitoring plans that work without micromanaging.
- Case Studies & Red Flags: Real-world failures, near-misses, and what strong programs are doing differently
By the End of This Webinar, You Will Be Able To:
Identify and assess high-risk vendors using function- and impact-based frameworks.
Design controls, contract terms, and oversight procedures that minimize exposure.
Incorporate AI-driven tools responsibly into third-party risk monitoring.
Recognize unique risks when outsourcing to AI-powered vendors.
Respond effectively when vendor risk events arise — from operational failures to compliance breaches.
Note: This program meets the eligibility criteria for continuing education under ACFCS and is eligible for 1 credit.
