Authorised Signatory Person
An individual who has the legal authority to sign official documents on behalf of the company. They hold significant responsibility, as their signature binds the company to agreements, contracts, and legal obligations. The designation of an authorized signatory is a key governance practice, reflecting trust and authority within the corporate structure.
This role often requires a deep understanding of the company’s operations and strategic direction, as the authorised signatory person must make informed decisions when executing documents. Misuse or abuse of this authority can have serious legal and financial consequences for the company.
