Third Party Providers

Can anyone give suggestions on what risk mitigating process you use to ensure that your third party providers are providing the services you want and in a manner you request?

Thanks in advance.

Is this a BSA question? Sounds to me liek a vendor management question...make sure your contracts include everythign you want your vendor to do and to abide by, review their SAS70 if available, review the work they have done for you, review their financials... yeah?

Are you referring to third party service providers who perform your CIP?
