Document background
The Check Authorisation Letter is a crucial document used when an account holder needs to delegate authority for cheque-related activities to another person. This delegation might be necessary during extended absences, for business efficiency, or due to physical limitations. Under English and Welsh law, the document must clearly specify the scope of authority, duration, and any limitations to protect both the account holder and the authorized person. The letter ensures compliance with banking regulations while providing a clear audit trail of delegated financial authority.
