representative's right to grant a mandateNo contributors
ConceptDraft
A person who has been given the representative's right to grant a mandate can grant other persons mandates to represent in selected mandate themes (e.g., an accounting firm authorises its chief financial officer to grant mandates to represent to the company’s payroll staff for the management of its customers’ tax matters. A person who has been given the representative's right to grant a mandate can also request mandates for transactions from customers and invalidate granted mandates to represent. The representative's right to grant a mandate does not allow a person to carry out transactions in e-services, but the person who has the representative's right to grant a mandate must also grant a mandate to represent to themselves if he or she needs to carry out transactions on behalf of a customer.
