IEEE Policies

Introduction

The following IEEE policies have been established to ensure volunteers and staff have a clear understanding of and shall carry out their responsibilities regarding the functions and administration of the financial aspects of the IEEE.  Specific procedures, when they exist for implementation of these policies, shall be set forth in the IEEE Finance Operations Manual and the IEEE Investment Operations Manual.  These manuals, initially approved by the IEEE Board of Directors, shall be developed and maintained by the IEEE Finance Committee with input of various Standing Committees.  With respect to these manuals, all changes implemented by the IEEE Finance Committee will be shared with the IEEE Board members prior to implementation.  Operational policies and procedures of the respective IEEE Organizational Units shall not conflict with these policies.

With respect to these policies, wherever a staff function is identified, such activities shall be performed by staff designated and authorized by the IEEE Executive Director.  Additionally, for purposes of these policies IEEE Organizational Units include, but are not limited to, IEEE Societies, IEEE Geographic Units, and Conferences.
