Policy & Procedure Development

At Qode Consultancy, we believe that effective compliance begins with strong, well-structured policies and procedures. Our team of regulatory and governance experts works closely with financial institutions to design, review, and enhance internal frameworks that ensure clarity, consistency, and compliance across all levels of the organization. We go beyond drafting documents — we create living frameworks that guide day-to-day decision-making, reinforce accountability, and reflect the institution’s risk appetite, strategic objectives, and regulatory obligations.

Our Services Include

Policy Framework Design: Developing customized compliance and governance policies aligned with Central Bank regulations, FATF Recommendations, and global best practices. Procedure Mapping & Documentation: Translating policies into actionable processes that are practical, efficient, and easy to implement across departments. Periodic Review & Gap Analysis: Assessing existing frameworks to identify weaknesses, inefficiencies, or regulatory gaps and providing targeted enhancements. Board & Management Alignment: Ensuring that policies reflect the organization’s governance structure and are properly endorsed and understood by all stakeholders. Operational Integration: Embedding policies within existing systems and controls to promote a culture of compliance and accountability.

Our Commitment

Every policy and procedure developed by Qode Consultancy is tailored to the client’s size, complexity, and regulatory environment. Whether it’s an AML/CFT manual, sanctions framework, customer onboarding procedure, or corporate governance policy, our focus remains the same — to deliver clarity, control, and compliance that strengthen institutional resilience and build regulator confidence.
