• Delegation of Authority
  • Delegation of Authority is the assignment of decision-making power, responsibility, and/or execution authority from a principal (typically a higher-authority body or role-holder) to an agent or subordinate, with the expectation that the agent will act on behalf of the principal within specified limits, subject to accountability mechanisms, and with the understanding that the principal retains ultimate responsibility while the agent bears operational accountability
