A delegation of authority (DOA) defines who has the power to make decisions, approve transactions, and commit organizational resources. Aptly's delegation of authority software replaces static authority matrices and spreadsheet registers with a dynamic, digital platform Aptly that cascades authority from board to front line — with approvals, acknowledgments, and full audit trails at every level.
