Who it is for
Procurement leads, category and sourcing managers, supplier relationship managers, contract managers and supply chain professionals inside financial services organisations and the businesses that supply them. You are not a risk specialist and this course does not try to make you one. It shows you where risk sits in the work you already do, and how to use it.
By the end of the course you will be able to

Outcome
Apply a risk-informed approach to each stage of the procurement lifecycle: sourcing, contracting, onboarding and ongoing governance.

Curriculum
The first three modules are shared across all four Academy courses. Modules four to seven are written for Procurement and Supply Chain, with a sourcing scorecard, a capabilities checklist and a negotiation playbook to take away.
Welcome to Third-Party Risk in Financial Services Procurement
Emery names the course, shows you your seat at the table, states the four course outcomes and explains how the certificate is earned.
Third-Party Risk: Where It Sits, Who Owns It, and Why Now
Third-party risk placed inside the risks your organisation already manages. The four seats at the table. Three verified APAC cases (Singapore data centre outage 2023, CrowdStrike 2024, Latitude Financial 2023) and the sentence every regulator agrees on: the organisation cannot outsource its accountability.
The APAC Regulatory Map: Who Sets the Rules and What They Have in Common
Seven jurisdictions in ten minutes: APRA, MAS, HKMA, RBNZ, BNM, the Japan FSA and RBI, with one framework and one distinguishing feature each. The five obligations that recur across the region, and the cross-border data rule: check both jurisdictions before signature.
Eight Risk Domains, Eight Lifecycle Stages: The Third Party Labs Framework
The controlled vocabulary for the rest of the course. Eight risk domains, eight lifecycle stages from planning to exit, governance as the wrapper. Pick one supplier you know and place it on the framework.
The Eight Domains in Procurement Practice: Where Risk Creates Value
Each of the eight domains walked through a procurement lens with a practical example. Where asking the right question early saves the deal later. Sourcing scorecard included.
Risk Across the Procurement Lifecycle: Sourcing, Contracting, Onboarding, Governance
What good looks like at each stage, which questions belong in the RFP, which clauses belong in the contract, and what onboarding must capture so ongoing governance is possible.
What Is Coming: APAC Third-Party Risk Issues That Will Shape Procurement
Cloud concentration, AI features arriving inside existing supplier products, geopolitical and country risk, and tightening data localisation across APAC. Five capabilities your function needs, with a checklist.
Risk as Negotiation Leverage: Pricing Risk Into the Deal
Risk insight as a commercial instrument: how to price risk into the deal, secure stronger supplier commitments, and walk into the negotiation with the regulator's questions already answered. Negotiation playbook included.
