Mission Possible: Aligning Technology and Content for Successful
Policy Management
Current FINRA regulation mandates that financial firms keep up-to-date supervisory policies and procedures. In today’s business world rules and regulations are continuously changing, and keeping content updated can be a manually demanding and burdensome process. In many cases, firms are not fully successful in directly linking such changes to their internal policies and communicating those changes across their enterprise. New and established firms alike may also struggle in crafting comprehensive, compliant policies and procedures.
Breaks in the information supply chain lead to compliance risks. When policies and procedures aren’t up to regulatory standards and firms are unable to successfully convey updates and changes, they can face costly consequences. Firms must have the technology and processes to keep content updated, ensure that users are immediately aware of a change, that they understand and know how to implement that change, and that the right users are receiving the right information.
Creating and maintaining policies and procedures is Mission Possible. Apply best practices in policy and procedure management to mitigate your compliance risk, stay current with changing rules and regulations, assess their impact on corporate policies, and inform and educate users.
