Policy Management
Policy management refers to the end-to-end process of creating, reviewing, approving, publishing, tracking, and archiving internal policies within an organization. For financial institutions, this process must be structured, auditable, and aligned with regulatory expectations.
Banks and credit unions rely on policy management to ensure staff are following the latest procedures, to demonstrate compliance during examinations, and to reduce legal and operational risks tied to outdated or missing policies.
Why It Matters
Without a clear system for managing policies, employees may unknowingly follow outdated guidelines - exposing the institution to risk. Strong policy management improves transparency, accountability, and consistency across departments and branches.
