Third-party compliance is an essential part of every successful business operation. It is the process of ensuring that any third-party vendors, suppliers, or partners meet all legislated and organizational standards for financial, legal, ethical, and corporate responsibilities. This can include things such as anti-bribery measures, regulatory requirements, conflict of interest policies, information security protocols, and other pertinent certifications. Keeping up with third-party compliance can be a challenge, but failure to do so can result in significant fines, reputational damage, and legal action. Businesses must stay vigilant when it comes to knowing and understanding their compliance obligations.
