Document background
The Certificate of Authority Form is a crucial legal instrument in Australian business and corporate practice, designed to formally establish and document the delegation of specific powers from one party to another. This document is typically used when an organization or individual needs to authorize another person to act on their behalf, whether for specific transactions, ongoing business operations, or time-limited activities. The form includes essential details such as the identity of both the principal and authorized person, specific powers granted, duration of authority, and any limitations or conditions. It serves as official evidence of authority and is commonly required by banks, government agencies, and other institutions to verify the legitimate right of an individual to act on behalf of another party. The document must comply with relevant Australian legislation, including the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) when used in corporate contexts.
