Authority Matrix

This description refers to one of our optional modules/extensions containing specific functionality to make Complete Control even more complete. Your single point of contact at House of Control AS can tell you more about all our optional modules and extensions.

The documentation of the company’s authority matrix is essential to the internal control within all businesses as it defines the financial and administrative responsibilities and authorities delegated to those in charge of approving the decisions and transactions within the business.

By digitalizing the company’s authority matrix, Complete Control helps you to establish the respective authority levels of every employee. The application shows who has the authority to do what and provides a log and searchable history of your employees' approval history.

This easy ability to manage and document the authority matrix makes it an essential tool for the effective governance and compliance within the business. For example, an accounts receivable associate reports to an accounting manager, who reports to the CFO. If the accounts receivable system is consistently reporting erroneous information, you can then follow the hierarchy of authority to find out who is responsible for the errors.
