Higher service charges than industry norms? That's just plain old financial risk. Better keep the bean counters happy!

Service level agreements not met? That's like ordering a pizza and it never shows up - unacceptable!

That's true, but I think the financial aspect is more critical for risk management.

Key personnel changes? That's a red flag for me. Consistency and expertise are so important with third-party providers.

Hmm, the contract renewal in less than 30 days is pretty worrying too. Who knows what changes the provider might try to make? Better keep a close eye on that.

But what about the key third-party personnel being replaced? That could also lead to disruptions in service.

I agree with Renay. It could indicate potential financial instability or inefficiency.

I think the service level agreements (SLAs) not being met is the most concerning. That could mean major disruptions in service, which is a huge risk for the business.
