Information from the OCC regarding Risk Management

I found this today and thought it might be of interest.

Curious, I read that as a pro-active process to be followed by banks, but I don't see a bridge between this and the so-called "CSS Code of Conduct". Am I missing something?

I see it as a process that trickles down to us as Third Party Service Providers and as part of the reason the SPW formed and created the CSS Code of Conduct.

My point: Going back to the link in the OP, under Due Diligence and Third Party Selection you will see such terms as: "Review", "Evaluate", "Assess", "Ensure", "Verify". The CSS Code of Conduct is simply a piece of paper to be signed. I cannot find the connection between this and the terms mentioned above. Am I still missing something?

John,

I did not specifically link this to the CSS Code of Conduct. I don't know how you read that into my original post.

This is general information that I thought relevant to the ongoing discussions here regarding the overview of third parties in our industry.
