Create scoring ranges by setting thresholds within the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI Corruption Perceptions Index which ranks countries by perceived levels of public sector corruption. The CPI generally defines corruption as an abuse of entrusted power for private gain.) rankings. The higher the scores you assign, the higher the risk.

Steps:

1. Under Includes highest risk Country from, check the sources of information and the system will include the countries included in each source:

   • Doing Business in Model: The countries the third-party is doing business in are included in the risk model Created for different third-party types and categories within the type to apply separate evaluation criteria to diverse types of third parties. Four factors make up a risk model: country, type and category, DDQ questions, and third-party custom field questions.. If not selected, the countries are omitted.

   • DDQ Due Diligence Questionnaire which can be sent to third parties for response. Questions can be added to a risk model to use in determining the overall risk rating for a third party. Country Address: The country address of the most recently submitted questionnaire. If not selected, the country address in the third-party profile is used.

   • Client associated risk Country: This allows you to manually set the Country to score for risk (for example, the country where the contract is signed versus the country where products or services will be delivered).

2. Add a Score for Unlisted Countries. Countries with no CPI ratings are listed and scored separately as a group. Determine how risky these countries are overall to assign points.

3. In Country Overrides, select any country to assign a score that takes precedence over any other country score.

4. In Select Scoring Range Thresholds, select the lowest CPI rating for each CPI to create a range of CPI scores. The range is added to Score Ranges covered in the next step.

5. In Scoring Ranges, assign a score to each off the ranges you created in the previous step. The number of countries in that range displays. Note that high CPI ratings mean lower risk and would merit a lower score.
