Third-party risks in the financial sector are a breed unto themselves. Or, more precisely, they are two related breeds: third-party risks from customers, and third-party risks from vendors. A financial firm’s compliance function must somehow address them both.

Yes, at a conceptual level, those risks exist in nonfinancial sectors, too: anti-bribery, data security, fraud. Businesses in any type of industry do worry about them. But in no other sector are third-party risks as heightened as what we see in the financial sector. Hence the pressure to implement sufficient oversight of third parties is immense.

So, what are the risks that customers and vendors pose to the financial services industry? And how can due diligence and monitoring act as a foundation for mitigating said risks?

Movies and TV shows might have launched a thousand armchair experts on the topic of money laundering, but few can explain how or why it’s done. Ola Tucker’s book, “The Flow of Illicit Funds,” does exactly that.
