Protiviti helps you navigate through these implementations to help streamline programs and processes to keep costs down.

Targeted Issue Remediation and Incident Response

An integrated approach to driving value

Procurement and TPRM should be integrated across the life cycle to enhance your visibility, efficiency, risk management and cost management. The four sections of the TPRM life cycle each have an important part to play in helping you determine the right partners to drive your business growth and customer success. Protiviti offers an integrated one-stop solution for financial, information technology, compliance and operational due diligence. Transactions that have been through a comprehensive due diligence process are the most successful, and you are able to realis their expected value.

Planning: Successful TPRM starts with strong linkages to business strategies and the value creation process.
Due Diligence & Third-Party Selection: Risk Assessment, Due Diligence & Third-Party Selection should be coordinated, risk focused and intended to drive business value decisioning.
Contract Management: Contract Management should be informed from the results of due diligence and end in contracts that align to business needs and provide appropriate risk mitigation requirements.
Monitoring and Management: Strong contracts drive accountability for oversight activities which helps establish expectations for all parties on what will be required to have a successful relationship.

Global Systemically Important Financial Institution (G-SIFI) implements a third-party risk management (TPRM) programme to meet global regulatory standards

Protiviti partnered with a G-SIFI to design and implement a third-party risk management (TPRM) programme in alignment with global regulatory standards with an additional goal of aligning programme development with available technologies within the client’s environment. The company’s current TPRM programme relied heavily on manual processes, data collection, and reporting which limited reporting on the overall programme – status, risks, and performance. Protiviti completed a pilot of the inherent risk questionnaire across ~300 engagements to confirm scoring logic and approach and aligned the TPRM programme to the revised issue management standard and procedures. In the end, enhanced risk assessment methodologies that align with regulatory expectations across the client’s global locations were implemented and due diligence methodologies and templates that provide more consistent results across subject matter areas were provided by Protiviti.
