This document reduces ambiguity about who may initiate or receive a transfer, creates a clear audit trail for legal and financial records, and helps satisfy institutional or regulatory proof-of-authority requirements. It can prevent mistaken transfers, support compliance reviews, and provide defensible evidence in disputes or audits.
Use the document when a written, signed record of permission is required by internal policy, a counterparty, or a regulator.
