RISK INTELLIGENCE – ACCOUNT VERIFICATION
Tap into leading vendor management tools, spanning identity verification and onboarding, change management and payments and disbursements to quickly identity potential risk and validate vendors.
Corporates typically engage with large numbers of suppliers and vendors, and while these relationships are essential, they can introduce payments and identity-related risks. Failure to adequately manage and mitigate these risks can lead to financial losses, reputational damage and more.
Robust authentication and validation of your vendors is therefore an essential part of a holistic risk management programme. This involves ensuring that there is no known fraud in your supplier ecosystem.
Implementing proactive fraud prevention measures – across vendor onboarding, change management and disbursements – is crucial, but it may also be necessary to conduct a scrub of existing vendors and suppliers to pinpoint any existing fraud risk.
Use Case
Suppliers and vendors are a key element of any supply chain, but companies must ensure that these crucial relationships do not inadvertently introduce payments and identity risk. Not only do many companies often have large existing supply networks, but the ongoing onboarding of new suppliers as well as change requests (for example, updates to vendor addresses, bank details, or more) can introduce new risk.
Proactively managing your suppliers means taking steps to:
Ensure that no known fraud risks in your existing supply networks.
Identify potential risks before entering any new supplier or vendor relationship.
Take steps to ensure that no new risk is introduced during change events.
