Third-Party Vendor Assurance Engagement

Runs on the existing Audit item for this engagement (audit_type=vendor_review) — the workflow enriches that already-planned engagement record, it never creates a duplicate — consuming the confirmed scope, criteria, and calendar handed off from Audit Engagement Planning. An IA-led third-party vendor assurance engagement that concludes on the design and operating effectiveness of the organization’s TPRM program — governance, risk tiering, vendor control-environment reliance, monitoring, exclusions, and reporting. Vendors under test are the existing Vendor items, each finding is an Issue item, and the named deliverable is a reperformable engagement workpaper package. In scope: assuring the program (IA evaluates management’s third-party risk management; it does not operate it). Out of scope: operating the vendor lifecycle (onboarding, tier refresh, remediation), which belongs to the second-line Third-Party Vendor Risk Lifecycle workflow; deep single-report SOC work, which can be delegated to the reusable Vendor SOC 1/SOC 2 Report Review & CUEC Mapping workflow; and ICT arrangements caught by regulatory regimes, which route to Third-Party ICT Vendor Regulatory Assurance. Findings and the engagement conclusion exit through Audit Report Drafting, and action plans route to Finding Remediation & Action-Plan Monitoring.
