KPMG’s latest research reveals that TPRM is a strategic priority for 85 % of businesses, up from 77% before the outbreak of the pandemic. Nonetheless, the outlook for TPRM presents no shortage of challenges. The findings demonstrate the need for TPRM leaders to make a step-change in their operating models and their approach to third-party risk. This need will likely only grow as supply chains and broader ecosystems continue to expand, and the risk presented by fourth parties creates further complexity. The session experts will share their insights into this challenging risk area.
We are aiming to have a broad cross-section of panelists to provide a diverse perspective. Those confirmed are:
