Streamline Delegated Authority.

Traditional delegation of authority is fractured. Static policy documents and authority matrix spreadsheets fail to ensure teams are aware of, acknowledge and adhere to established decision rights. Aptly clarifies delegated authority to empower teams, streamline business operations, reduce risk and improve governance.

Good governance begins with clear delegated authority.

Centralize Authority Matrices
Manage and track delegated authorities across the entire business. Track issuances and acceptances in real time.
Improve Governance
Search and navigate delegated authorities with clarity. Improve compliance with reporting, audit logs and version tracking.
Streamline Operations
Leverage industry-proven delegation of authority standards to streamline decisioning and project management.

Digitize Your Authority Matrix

Aptly makes delegated authorities accessible, transparent, clear and easy to understand, enabling your organization to quickly find out who can decide what. Authorized individuals can view, search, add, accept and edit authorities and every change is logged and searchable.

Good Governance
Aptly leverages industry recognized frameworks for financial and non-financial authorities, ensuring alignment across team members and adherence to governance best practices.
Consistency
Eliminate error-prone static authority matrices and documents. As a single source of truth, Aptly allows you to administer delegated authorities from a central location.
Transparency
Delegations are issued in real-time with configurable user notifications and tracked acceptance. Both senders and recipients can issue, recall, reassign, increase or decrease delegated powers.
Control
Complete delegation visibility paired with audit trails of individual issuance and acceptance improves compliance, reduces risk and helps meet both internal control and legal requirements.
