Best Practices for GIPS® Policies & Procedures
David D. Spaulding, DPS, CIPM

As GIPS® verifiers, we have seen literally hundreds of GIPS Policies & Procedures. In the course of this time, you might say that we’ve seen “the good, the bad, and the ugly.” In addition, a couple of us have written policies and procedures for multiple asset managers. This experience has resulted in an awareness of what is needed, as well as the best ways to present it. We hope that you find this paper of value as you prepare, develop, and/or maintain such documents for your firm or organization.
