• In its “Cross-Industry Guidance on Outsourcing” (Guidance) published December 2021 , the Central Bank notes that it is strongly focused on Outsourcing due to its increasing prevalence across the financial services sector and its potential, if not effectively managed, to threaten the operational resilience of Regulated Financial Service Providers (RFSPs).

• The Central Bank has undertaken a significant programme of activity on outsourcing over the last number of years to ensure that Boards of RFSPs do not seek to rely on either third-party providers or group companies to the point where they are inadvertently delegating accountability to those entities. On this basis, the Central Bank seeks to ensure that accountability and responsibility ultimately remains with the Board and that certain processes and principles are followed to mitigate outsourcing risks. Compliance professionals will be required to help the Board understand and implement the Guidance.

• The Webinar will provide an overview of what firm’s need to do to comply with the expectations of the CBI as set out under 10 headings within the Guidance, addressing each stage of the outsourcing lifecycle.  We will also be discussing recent lessons learned and the level of regulatory scrutiny which firms can expect.

The Compliance Institute's CPD Programme is designed specially to support the compliance professional in developing the skills and competences required to perform their role and is also a requirement to maintain your Compliance Institute designation.
