ABOUT THIS COURSE

As the outsourcing of critical functions and services continues to increase, as technology becomes more complex and as vendor interdependencies continue to expand to 4th and 5th parties, additional emphasis needs to be placed on the importance of the contract to protect the institution as well as the vendor. However, we often find that there are many terms and conditions omitted from contracts that expose a financial institution to multiple dimensions of risk.

“The contract is the most important control in the outsourcing process.”
