Vendor / Contract Management
The Vendor Management module (v7+) is an area for storing important information about your vendors and service providers, including document schedules. Those document schedules dictate the frequency and type of documentation vendors must provide you, and can include things like insurance documentation, tax forms and also contracts. This ensures that you keep on top of any necessary due diligence, and helps you significantly reduce your risk exposure.
Because this generally comes under risk management, we have grouped these features in an area called "Third-Party Risk". You can access this from the hamburger menu (left side of the tab list). You must be a Risk Analyst user to access this functionality.
There are two main areas in the Third-Party Risk section:
- A list of document groups, each of which contains a list of required document for a specific type of vendor, along with a schedule for when those documents are required.
- A list of vendors, each of which can be linked to a document group.
In the future we will likely add specific sections in here for service providers and other entities with which your organization may have a relationship.
