Supplier Risk Management Setup

Risk Rating

To understand whether the responses to the questionnaire are leading to an acceptable or unacceptable level of risk, you can assign a risk rating through the setting of risk appetite thresholds. A high-risk commodity or service being provided by the supplier could have a different set of tolerance levels than a low risk supplier. For a high-risk supplier, you may require a score of 100% on the allocated questions, whereas for a low risk supplier you may tolerate a much lower level of compliance. The table expresses residual risk based on the responses to the questionnaire and subsequent evaluation by subject matter experts. It is completely configurable. Example: For a high-risk supplier with an attribute score of ‘3’, only a questionnaire score of 90% or more would be negligible residual risk, whereas a score of 0% would be high risk.

Supplier Communications

There are three default emails configured with Abriska. The first is to be sent to the supplier to enable them to register on the system. The second provides the introduction to the questionnaire and the third is a reminder email to the assigned contact at the supplier.

Supplier Dashboard

Once set up, this is the best starting point for future activity, The dashboard lists all suppliers in Abriska and can be filtered by division or contact. The information provided is as follows (from left to right):

• If completion of the questionnaire is overdue, then a red flag will appear against the supplier
• The supplier name is provided along with the drill down to review the supplier profile and full information held against that supplier
• Supplier contact
• Categories assigned to the supplier, which determine the question sets. Selecting the symbol allows the categories to be viewed in list form and to amend them.
• Name of the division that own the relationship with the supplier
• Name of the internal person owning the supplier relationship
• Risk rating based on the responses to the questionnaire
• Questionnaire status indicator: completed, in progress, questionnaire ready but not sent, no questionnaires
• View questionnaires link

Suppliers Overview

Provides a graphical view on how many suppliers have been added to Abriska, the number categorised, registered, those that have started and/or completed a questionnaire, the number of questionnaires reviewed, and the number where a risk decision has been made.

Controls Effectiveness

Provides on a per control basis an overview of the control effectiveness for each supplier where the control has been assessed. This is a good way to quickly see whether there are common control weaknesses across the supply base and will support deep dive reviews on specific controls.

Add New Supplier

Suppliers are considered to be resources. Here you can add the supplier’s name, any abbreviation, a description of the service being delivered, location, internal owner of the relationship and the division which owns the relationship. There is a freeform field for additional information. Note that additional fields can be created on this form. Customise option: at the bottom of the screen, there is an option to ‘Customise’. Select this if you wish to change the default settings on the form, e.g. to make field completion mandatory Whenever you add or change data, remember to click ‘submit’
