In this episode, host Tessa Norman is joined by two PwC Directors: Julia Ramsay, a specialist in Third Party and Supply Chain Risk, and Tom Kohler, a specialist in Financial Services Resilience and Risk Management, to explore the regulation of critical third parties (CTPs).

Our expert guests delve into the details of the incoming regulatory regime for CTPs, sharing insights on the outcomes policymakers are seeking to achieve, and the steps CTPs and financial services firms can take to prepare for the proposed new rules. Our guests also exchange perspectives on broader regulatory measures aimed at boosting resilience in other sectors, as well as how firms can manage overlapping rules and harness the strategic opportunities this presents. 

You can contact our PwC speakers if you’d like to discuss any of the topics covered, at [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].
