Procedures
Procedures are step-by-step instructions that explain how to carry out specific tasks or processes within an organization. In a bank or credit union, procedures are essential for ensuring consistent operations, minimizing risk, and supporting compliance.
They differ from policies in that they describe *how* something is done, rather than *what* rules must be followed. Together, policies and procedures form the backbone of internal operations.
Why Procedures Matter
Standardized procedures help financial institutions operate efficiently and pass audits with confidence. They ensure staff follow the same steps every time, reducing errors and improving training outcomes.
