Delegations of Authority is a mechanism by which the University:-

• enables officers of the University to act on behalf of the University by providing the formal authority to commit the University and to incur liabilities for the University; and
• defines limits and establishes accountability of officers of the University.

In general, nominated staff members can only have the delegation of an amount not greater than $5,000. To formalise this, nominated staff member must complete the financial delegation memo, which must be endorsed by the Dean/Director of your area, and approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

More details about the categories of delegation can be obtain from the financial delegation policy ( 47Kb).
