Risk and prevention of financial outsourcing;

The functions and business of the regulated entity can be carried out in many ways, and the related functions can be divided into product manufacturing, marketing, back-office support and distribution. If various functions are performed in different places, but are still handled by departments within the entity, this situation is not outsourcing. Entities should guard against related risks within the framework of conventional risk management.

Various industry and regulatory reports point out that outsourcing involves risk transfer and management (mostly related to cross-border business). Various industries and regulators believe that the regulated entity's increasing reliance on outsourcing may affect its ability to manage risks and comply with regulatory requirements. In addition, the regulatory authorities are also worried that the ability of the regulated entity to take appropriate measures to manage risks and comply with regulatory requirements may be difficult to effectively demonstrate to the regulatory authorities due to outsourcing. One of these problems caused by outsourcing is that over-reliance on outsourcing will seriously affect the sustainability of the regulated entity and its ability to fulfill its customer responsibilities.

The regulated entity can take the following measures to reduce risks: formulate a comprehensive and clear outsourcing policy, establish an effective risk supervision process, require outsourcing companies to make emergency plans, reach a reasonable outsourcing contract through negotiation, and analyze the financial and infrastructure conditions of service providers. Regulators can reduce the problems in the process of outsourcing through the following measures: fully consider the outsourcing situation when evaluating a single company, and consider the risk concentration of service providers when analyzing system risks.
