EPayResources Admin / Friday, February 27, 2026 / Categories: Products Policy & Board Engagement ACH Operations Policy & Board Engagement ACH Operations focuses on the foundational role policy and governance play in every ACH origination program. Before an ODFI underwrites an Originator, transmits a File, or monitors activity, the board must define the risk boundaries within which those decisions occur. This course explains how board-approved policy sets expectations for origination scope, risk appetite, reporting, and accountability—and how management translates those expectations into operational practice. Learners explore what boards reasonably expect to review and approve, how policy should age as ACH programs evolve, and where governance breakdowns create downstream risk. Through scenario-based decision points and applied examples, the unit reinforces that ACH policy is not static documentation. It is an active governance tool that guides underwriting decisions, limits exposure, and determines when management must return to the board before new activity begins. Estimated learner time: 15•20 minutes, depending on pace and interaction with the knowledge check. This course is well-suited for ACH operations staff, risk and compliance professionals, treasury management teams, and anyone involved in establishing or maintaining board oversight of ACH origination activities. This course is available exclusively to members of ePayResources.
