On the one hand...

…a supplier’s possible inability to deliver what is required can harm the institution’s service delivery.

On the other hand...

Is Compliance/Supplier Screening relevant?

Dealing with suppliers or third parties has a two-tiered risk for institutions. On the one hand, the inability of a supplier to deliver what is required can have a negative impact on the institution’s service delivery. On the other hand, there is an ever-increasing trend of collusion between institutions’ own employees and suppliers.

For this reason, it is imperative for institutions to assess their own employees, as well as any third parties or suppliers, before adding them to the supplier database or signing service-level agreements with them.

For many years, EmployInsight has been trusted with assisting institutions to conduct comprehensive background screening of their suppliers and third parties, with the aim to minimise the risk of collusion and fraud in the supply chain process.
