Why do I have to talk to multitudes of people and teams across Member Protection and Risk to update my control? Why does every change go through “review” by people who don’t have anything to do with my process? Why does it take me longer to educate 383, 829 people I’m required to talk to about a change I need than it takes for me to make the change and update the control? I have a risk partner why can’t they make the change like they do everywhere else in the Bank? Are we protecting the members or are we creating made up roles to make an executive feel good? What happened to simplifying and streamlining? How much money is spent on salaries for every change and how is that justified when there are many real, impactful changes that money can be spent on instead?

It’s done on purpose. If you’ve worked here long enough in risk/compliance/audit then you know and know where and know why.
They’ve put into place a process for people without knowledge or ownership to impact the control. I’d bet this process or your control is entwined to how we launder money. USAA puts this sort of inept “governance” in place when they want to slow down or allow wrong doing and not put their executives in the crosshairs
