FAQ

What is process mapping and SOPs in extrajudicial office management?

It is the technique of designing, formalizing, and standardizing administrative, legal, and financial workflows in an extrajudicial office (serventia extrajudicial). The process produces Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs / POPs), which direct the exact execution of every task by staff. This control guarantees legal certainty, service efficiency, and compliance with CNJ provimentos.

How to structure the daily cash reconciliation process in an extrajudicial office?

Reconciliation should be conducted via a blind check at the end of business hours, where the operator counts cash and transaction slips without viewing system reports. Next, the finance department cross-checks physical counts with management software data to validate remittances, official fees (emolumentos), and tax withholdings. Balances are deposited into the official office account with archived receipts.
