10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. PT
Financial institutions utilize third party service providers to support a range of activities and operations. The services and/or technology offered by third party service providers has become integral to the everyday operations of many financial institutions. The financial banking regulators have also emphasized need for institutions to manage the risks associated with these third party relationships. In some cases, the failure to adequately manage these relationships have resulted in significant regulatory penalties, legal risks, and reputational damage. Thus, it is critical for financial institutions to establish a robust third party risk management program.
Join us as we discuss the federal regulators’ expectations regarding your institution’s third party risk management program, including the need for your board’s involvement, critical risk assessments, vendor selection, negotiating vendor agreements, and your ongoing monitoring obligations.
We will also discuss impacts of the ever-expanding use of fintech partnerships and new technologies (such as artificial intelligence).
As part of the Webinar we will also include a discussion of due diligence and contract negotiation checklists incorporating the various considerations that should be a part of your third party risk management program.

The rules for responding to subpoenas and other government requests for information vary significantly, thereby making it difficult to determine whether a financial institution should comply with a particular legal process. Many of the difficulties in properly producing the documents and records requested can also be attributed to overly broad or vague requests. For obvious reasons this can lead to confusion and claims against a financial institution for failing to respond properly.
This Webinar will focus on dealing with subpoenas served by private parties as well as those served by state and federal government agencies. Our discussion will include a detailed review of some of the more common legal process forms, with an emphasis on those areas of the forms financial institutions should pay particular attention to as well as the specific terminology used in describing the requested records.
Thursday, September 25
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. PT
