What is the Cross-Functional Third-Party Compliance course about?
As organizations expand across regions and outsource more functions, compliance is no longer a centralized function. Teams operate in silos, legal sets policy, IT manages access, operations run processes, and procurement signs contracts, without shared controls. This creates gaps, duplication, and audit fatigue.
