SIOG7415 - Information and inspection powers: authorisations and approvals: authorisation by manager
It is expected that managers who are authorised officers will give authorisation in respect of the cases worked by their staff. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp fact that they have previously given advice and guidance in these same cases is no bar. However, ‘self authorisationâ€� is prohibited. Where the manager has personally worked the case recently, including the matter now requiring authorisation, it may therefore be wise to seek authorisation from another authorised officer.
