Many organizations have turned to global third-party providers to manage business operations through complex relationships. This trend has challenged management to reexamine internal controls such as internal audit, information security, and business continuity, disaster recovery, fraud protection, and data privacy.
It is no longer enough to ensure that the organization is meeting its internal regulatory compliance requirements. Unsafe cars, lead contaminated toys, pet food containing dangerous fillers, and medications formulated with treacherous levels of key ingredients are examples of supply chain failures. Such failures typically involve costly regulatory penalties and fines. What's common to these organizations is that the brands of the companies affected were not damaged by their own overt acts, but rather by those of suppliers that did not adhere to government regulations, safety/quality standards, and codes of conduct. In addition to the product safety and sustainability risks, regulatory penalties and fines can run into the millions of dollars for violations of regulations such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or Dodd-Frank/Conflict Minerals.
