Determining EMS scope for financial institution

Answer:

According to the standard, the organization needs to define the scope by listing all activities, products and services that it provides. In addition, it can define which locations are also covered with the scope. Waste disposal and use of resources are operational controls to be established once all activities, processes, products and services are examined. You can write financial services as your scope, you don't ave to go into much details but basically, the scope should show what type of business is the organization doing.

You can have the simple statement t hat the scope of your EMS cover financial services, or something in that style, but you must define it. The statement about your scope is usually something that will be written on your certificate and I assume you wouldn't like it to be something other than what your company does.
