English term or phrase: Practices in common

This is my 'preliminary' translation of a Japanese term.
I need some better ideas on how to render it into
English. For a group training seminar, attendees from
several diverse divisions within a corporation are receiving
training on some of the business practices they have in
common (ie, some accounting procedures). This term is
for the title of the seminar. But I need a succinct term because
this must go in the heading of a column on a chart.
Thanks in advance,
Joe

practices in common standard practices

Explanation:
... in a sense that they are widely referred to and obeyed. When talking about "standard", one will tend to think of formality surrounding it; yet, in reality, whatever there in the world that are widely assumed, referred to, obeyed, and -of course- practiced, they become standards; i.e. "standards due to practice", not "due to standardization process"

Below some "standards due to practice":
