I would be the wrong person to ask about that, as I tried to stay as far away from the details of that along with the low level details around finance. But basically as a public company there a bunch of regulations around a bunch of internal processes, think of it like having a process for how to create emails, or get rid of emails, or have communications, or do various number of internal things, or how you treat customer data.

It is a bit annoying, but ultimately reviewing how those systems are operated in the business and documenting them, while tedious, is a good idea because it allows you to review your security measures and you can use it as a catalyst to make changes and invest in areas that often get neglected in the product market fit/growth phase of a business.

So instead of looking at it as a burden, it becomes an opportunity to just improve internal controls.

Thank you for your reply. Could you give an example of what kind of process is being documented? Is it something like "how to process a customer refund"? I've worked in places where there were a lot of internal document for different workflows. Each workflow is supported by a set of features of a in-house developed tool. The same set of documents is used for on-boarding new joiners and auditing. Are these the set of documents you referring to? If there is a tool that serve as a "no-code editor for internal processes", do you think it is serving any particular pain points?
