Exception comments provide additional context for understanding the circumstances and activity that pertain to a bank’s exceptions. Exception comments can be collected in a variety of ways ranging from handwritten notes to spreadsheets and software.
Exception management is the process of monitoring missing documents or other important information.
An exception report lists the documents that are missing from an organization’s files.
In banking, exceptions are items that require action because they fail to meet certain predefined criteria. An exception threshold is an upper or lower limit (typically numeric) at which point exception-related requirements no longer exist.
To maintain compliance and mitigate risk, banks and credit unions must proactively manage their exceptions.
Expiring documents are those that are associated with expiration dates and must be regularly collected or updated to avoid exceptions. Once a document expires, it might also be considered a missing document until the exception has been resolved.
