Maple Street is launching a new service for clients – New Vendor Vetting Kits. These kits make new vendor risk assessments easier, faster, more effective and consistent with FFIEC best practices.
Using the kit, you’ll be confident in knowing who you’re contracting with from a risk perspective, and will be aware of any clear red flags. This information can be taken into final contract negotiations or applied in any ongoing monitoring efforts. The New Vendor Vetting Kit includes all the information and due diligence documentation needed to tell the story of who your new vendor is and provide a simple way to share all of the evidence to management, the board, auditors and examiners.
Our New Vendor Vetting service comes in two options: a full-service version for all critical and most important vendors, and a lite version for lower risk vendors with minimal due diligence documentation available.
