The Corporate Certificate of Authority is a crucial governance document used when companies need to formally delegate authority to specific individuals. Under English and Welsh law, this certificate provides clear evidence of an individual's power to act on the company's behalf, typically used in significant business transactions, banking relationships, or regulatory matters. The document includes detailed information about the scope of authority, any limitations, and the duration of the powers granted, ensuring compliance with the Companies Act 2006 and protecting both the company and third parties dealing with authorized representatives.
