Case Studies

Client : A Global Fintech Organization in the US Mortgage Industry

Problem Statement

Requirement Module : Third Party Risk Management, Contract Management

Client organization have brokers who might bring inherent risk by virtue of their business, technology integration.

Solution Provided

Created a Risk Framework to determine which of these brokers are super critical by determining their inherent risk score.

Helped determine inherent risk with KYC, volume of transactions, technology integration, financial stability, past incidents etc

Performed Due diligence on Technology risk, Financial stability risk, Compliance to Regulations etc

Value proposition to the Client

Outcome of the Due diligence is usually the Residual Risk score which enabled Client Business to make the Go, No-go decision.

These decisions are part of the Risk Management framework where residual risks and risks identified during due diligence are addressed through remediation, risk acceptance by the Business, or risk avoidance with a decision not to proceed.

The risk management lifecycle involves reassessment and safe off-boarding based on the organization's risk appetite to mitigate risks and ensure compliance.
