Moody’s study into third-party risk management



Moody’s carried out a study with a number of global corporations to delve into their processes and priorities for third-party risk management.


We wanted to find out:
  • What is people’s understanding and awareness of TPRM?
  • How do they approach TPRM and supplier due diligence today?
  • What are the challenges companies face when onboarding and managing suppliers?  
  • What does best practice look like and what steps are taken to mitigate risk?
  • What are corporate customers’ attitudes towards TPRM, openness towards solutions, and perceptions of the benefits of improved monitoring?


We interviewed 41 risk and compliance professionals from leading global corporates on three continents.
