1.26.26 | Approval Authority for Financial Transactions Policy – Concur
In alignment with the recently revised Approval Authority for Financial Transactions Policy which was effective 7/1/25, changes have been implemented to ensure consistency and accountability in financial approvals.
Effective February 1, 2026, employees will no longer be permitted to delegate approval authority within the travel system (Concur).
Assistants and Travel Arrangers may continue to prepare Concur Requests and Expense Reports, and approvers may assign individuals to review submissions using the Previewer Delegate role. However, final approval authority must remain with the designated approver. For more information please refer to the Approval Authority guide.
