Survey Question
What is your top third party risk management program
objective?

www.navexglobal.com
Top Objective is to Protect the Organization From Risk

www.navexglobal.com
This Year, the Top Challenge is Conflicts of Interest

www.navexglobal.com
Top Internal Program Challenges Focused on Resources

www.navexglobal.com
Budgets Remaining Steady or Growing

www.navexglobal.com
An Increase in Third Party Legal Action
• There has been an increase in legal or external regulatory action (32% in 2016 vs.
21% in 2015), representing a 34% increase.

www.navexglobal.com
Legal and Regulatory Action Frequency Increasing

www.navexglobal.com
Fear of third party failure tops fear of corruption this year.
• Top objectives reveal a fear that lack of control over third
parties can negatively impact the organization
• Conflicts of interest are top of mind, bribery and
corruption in the number two spot. Conflicts of interest
can be an indicator of a broader set of issues
• Cyber security concerns are top of mind, especially in
banking and healthcare
• Internal program concerns focus on a lack of resources and
desire to create and deliver comprehensive coverage, yet
budgets are not growing to match demand
• The frequency of legal and regulatory actions related to
third parties has increased, adding urgency to program
performance
Slight Changes in Priorities

Approach to Third Party Due Diligence

www.navexglobal.com
Survey Question
How do you evaluate your third parties before you engage
with them?

www.navexglobal.com
A Drop in Risk-Based Pre-Engagement Evaluations

www.navexglobal.com
Less Than Half of Programs Screen and Monitor Well

www.navexglobal.com
In 2016, An Increase in Screening ALL Third Parties

www.navexglobal.com
But, Only 22% Monitor All of Their Third Parties

www.navexglobal.com
Multiple Sources for Discovering Red Flags

www.navexglobal.com
NAVEX Global strongly suggests a risk-based approach to third party risk
management
• While more companies are screening all of their third parties, too few
continuously monitor them
• The FCPA Resource Guide* suggests organizations “should take on some form
of ongoing monitoring of third party relationships”
• To cover all your potential third party risks, best practices are to do continuous
monitoring of all of your third parties
• Organizations deploying continuous monitoring can deal with issues
immediately and appropriately. It also provides transparency and offers the
most defensible position.
• Tools are available to optimize your third party screening and monitoring
program
Approach to Due Diligence is Often Incomplete
* A Resource Guide to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. See references slide.

Automation and Maturity

www.navexglobal.com
Only 8% Use an Automated and Purpose-Built Solution

www.navexglobal.com
Survey Question
How do you evaluate your program’s maturity?

www.navexglobal.com
Most Programs are Maturing
Maturing programs either screen all of their third parties but don’t continuously
monitor all of them, or screen the majority of their third parties and have some
level of structured and continuous monitoring in place.

www.navexglobal.com
Automation and Maturity Often Overlap
• Organizations that use
automated systems and those
with Maturing / Advanced
programs tend to have a greater
number of FTEs and higher
budgets assigned to manage
third party risk management.
Those that do not use automatic
systems and those with Reactive
/ Basic programs also tend to
have one or zero FTEs assigned
to manage their third party risk.

www.navexglobal.com
Mature Programs are More Likely to Screen All Third
Parties

www.navexglobal.com
Mature Programs Also Monitor More Aggressively

www.navexglobal.com
Both options enable better risk
management
• Mature programs are more likely to
have invested in automation, which
extends program capabilities
• Mature programs tend to screen and
monitor all of their third parties. This
delivers visibility unavailable in less
centralized and consistent programs
Program Automation and Maturity

www.navexglobal.com
Program Performance and Satisfaction

www.navexglobal.com
Automated Systems Improve Program Satisfaction

www.navexglobal.com
Mature Programs Show Even More Program Satisfaction

www.navexglobal.com
Use of Due Diligence Vendors Enhance Satisfaction

www.navexglobal.com
Use of a Due Diligence Vendor Helps Identify More Red Flags

www.navexglobal.com
With an increase in legal and regulatory actions,
those with mature programs are better positioned
to mitigate risks
• Maturing programs have operationalized their
efforts and are screening and monitoring most
or all of their third parties
• Automated systems enable risk managers to
focus on critical tasks rather than basic program
management (aka, internal resources or Internet
searches)
• A combination of automation and maturity leads
to the best program results
Performance and Satisfaction Tied to Program
Investment

www.navexglobal.com
Most organizations indicate they could be doing a better job managing their risk.
• 58% indicate they do a good job complying with laws and regulations and less
than 25% rate their overall program as Good
• 30% indicate they expect their organizations will increase third party
engagements in the next year
• Less than half conduct due diligence screening on ALL their third parties
• 22% continuously monitor ALL their third parties
• One-third of organizations have faced legal or regulatory issues that involved
third parties
• 50% of these involved average costs of $10,000 or more per incident
There are strong indications that programs that screen, monitor and use
automated third party management platforms see better program performance
Key Take-Aways

www.navexglobal.com
Program sophistication is the differentiator.
• As organizations realize the amount of work and resources required to
adequately manage their third party engagements, automation can deliver
clarity, program completeness, and confidence
• Program sophistication supersedes organization size, budget, FTEs and the
number of third parties managed in terms of program performance and
satisfaction
• Organizations of all sizes should approach third party risk management with
purpose and focus:
• Measurement, milestones, and outcomes
• Program efficiency, effectiveness, structure and performance
