Thought leadership webinar

The road to CPS 230: Getting intimate with your material service providers.

On demand webinar

APRA's CPS 230 standard puts pressure on regulated entities to lift their game when it comes to material service providers – pressure that may have commercial implications for service providers who aren’t ready to step up.

Whether you are a regulated entity, a service provider, or both, this webinar unpacks how you can work together to achieve resilient outcomes across the financial services sector.

Key topics covered include:

  • The commercial implications for service providers
  • How third parties support your critical operations
  • Getting your contracts in order
  • Assessing the risk of engaging with a material service provider
  • Developing commercial, collaborative and cosy relationships with service providers
  • Integrating business continuity and resilience across the supply chain
  • Gaining assurance from material service providers
  • Reporting on material service providers

We’ll cover these topics from both sides of the fence – from the perspective of regulated entities, and those that provide services to them. Fill in the form to watch the webinar on demand.
