Payment Authorization Requirements

Payment authorization concerns genuine authority for a particular instruction, not merely successful sign-in.

Instruction and decision authority

An expense approval, account login and permission to debit an account have different meanings. A review should identify the authorized person, applicable mandate and scope of the transaction. Revocation and changed account details may raise separate legal and operational questions.
