WRITTEN RULES OF PROCEDURE
The modern solution for the management of directives in financial institutions
Financial institutions must demonstrate a functional and adequate system for managing directives; an organization manual in the form of a “Written Rules of Procedure” (WRP) is needed. DHC VISION supports the digital document management system for the WRP. In this way, legal requirements are met and proper business operations are ensured.
The requirements for the “Written Rules of Procedure” (WRP) come from the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bafin). They oblige financial institutions to create and maintain documented instructions, guidelines or process descriptions for all activities. Therefore, the WRP contains a large number of documents, process descriptions and related information. It is a huge effort to manage such documents on paper and by hand. Errors happen; operations as well as internal quality management and auditing units face major challenges. Business operations of the institution may be disrupted; negative consequences for the environment or customers are not excluded. Digital and automated processes offer greater security.
DHC VISION’s digital document management system (eDMS) ensures that instructions and guidelines can easily be created, reliably checked, comprehensibly approved, accurately released and distributed to the appropriate addressees. Its digital management processes are fully automated. Dashboards and a comprehensive reporting system provide the perfect overview of the current status of document management, validity and ongoing processes. The eDMS is part of an integrated management system that also supports training management and the management of (business) processes.

FAQ
What are “Written Fixed Rules”?
“Written Fixed Rules” include documents and regulations on the organizational structure resp. the structural and procedural set-up of an institution, financial institutions, in particular (banks, insurance companies, etc.). “Written Fixed Rules” also include guidelines, work instructions and procedural instructions. It is important that this information is always kept up to date and made readily available to the employees of the organization.
What are the essential components of “Written Fixed Rules”?
An essential component of “Written Fixed Rules” is the documentation of the organizational and process organization, which is required for legally compliant business operations. The organizational structure is usually documented in the form of organizational charts; it describes the relevant positions, roles, and organizational areas in an institution. The process organization is documented using hierarchically structured business process models. Starting from the enterprise process map to the detailed processes, business processes are documented and linked to jobs, roles, and organizational areas. In addition, relevant standard documents are related to the organizational structure and to processes.
What are the advantages of implementing a digital system of “Written Fixed Rules”?
If “Written Fixed Rules” are implemented together with a software solution, the organizational charts and process flows can be made available to employees online in a navigable form. Employee select their job or role and receive a direct overview of their tasks and responsibilities. Relevant guidelines and standard documents are assigned to the processes; they can be accessed directly without media disruption. The software solution automatically initiates the regular review of content to ensure that it is up to date. Changes and innovations are automatically propagated to the predefined group of addressees upon publication.
