ZOOM Webinar: Nth Party Risk Management and Internal Audit
Date: Thursday, March 26
Time: 11 AM to 12 PM
Organizations increasingly rely on complex ecosystems of third‑, fourth‑, and nth‑party relationships to deliver critical services and capabilities. While many Third‑Party Risk Management (TPRM) programs have matured, visibility and oversight often diminish beyond direct vendors—creating blind spots that can expose organizations to operational, compliance, cyber, and reputational risks.
Join our Webinar to learn more about the how internal audit programs can manage risk beyond their direct relationships with vendors.
Check out events from our neighbors: DC IIA Chapter and NoVa IIA Chapter. Also note that the IIA has several annual conferences including GAM, GRC, International, Financial Services, and All Star. Find out more at the following link: IIA Conferences.
