SOP Managementfor Banks and Credit Unions
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are the backbone of consistent operations and compliance. But managing them in a shared drive or legacy system can lead to version confusion, unread documents, and failed audits. SimplifyIT offers a smarter way to manage SOPs - version-controlled, trackable, and always up to date.
Why SOP Management Matters
- Reduces Risk: Consistent procedures reduce operational risk and audit exceptions.
- Supports Compliance: Track who has read what, and when.
- Ensures Consistency: Everyone follows the same steps - across branches, roles, and teams.
- Improves Efficiency: No more searching shared drives for the latest SOP version.
Built-In SOP Management Features
- Version Control: Always access the most current SOP. Prior versions remain archived and timestamped.
- Acknowledgment Tracking: Require staff to read and acknowledge new or revised procedures.
- Audit Logging: Every edit, view, and acknowledgment is time-stamped and reviewable.
- Role-Based Access: Control who can edit, approve, or simply view SOPs - from tellers to executives.
- Cross-Linking: Reference policies, forms, or job aids directly from SOP pages.
