The ADB Operations Manual (OM) collects operational policies known as [Bank Policies (BPs)]( "bank policies: short, focused statements defining borrower client obligations") that follow from ADB Charter, regulations of the ADF and OCR, as well as other operational policies and strategies adopted by the ADB Board of Directors. The OM also includes Operational Procedures (OPs) that spell out procedural requirements and guidance on policy implementation.
