Third Party Risk Management · APAC Financial Services

Why TPRM matters
Every major APAC financial regulator has strengthened its third-party risk requirements in the last five years. APRA CPS 230, MAS Outsourcing Guidelines, HKMA OR-2, RBNZ BS11. Across all 13 jurisdictions, the direction has been consistent. Financial institutions must maintain documented third-party inventories, conduct risk-proportionate due diligence, and hold credible exit strategies for every material service provider relationship.
