Who can grant or revoke authority?

There are different levels of Company Authority and confidentiality rules that apply to the Company Authority management system.

Once you have Company Authority for a company, when you view the 'Company Details' screen you will also see an Authority tab.  What you see here depends on your level of authority.

• Directors with Company Authority will be able to see the details of all authorised persons, including:
  • any pending applications, and
  • historical data for authority requests.
• Authorised persons (such as accountants and lawyers) are not able to see details of other authorised persons.  This is to ensure confidentiality.

So who can do what?

• Directors can approve or reject Company Authority requests for other directors and authorised persons and can revoke Company Authority for directors and authorised persons.
• A director’s Company Authority is revoked once they cease to hold office (for example, once their resignation notified to the Registrar of Companies).
• Authorised persons can approve or reject requests only for other directors.
