Common use of Policy Exceptions Clause in Contracts

Policy Exceptions. In the event that a business area or department is unable to comply with an approved Policy or Standard, an exception may be requested and submitted to the Policy Coordinator for initial review and onward presentation with recommendations to the ISGC and other interested parties. An exception also allows for non-compliance with a Policy or Standard for either an approved period, or indefinitely. This can be caused by technical limitations within an application or system or may be a result of a fundamental change to a business process or be in-line with specific business goals. In the case of an exception, a member of the ISSC must formally accept the risk and retain accountability for non-compliance. Refer to the policy exception procedure for further information.
