This Authorization Matrix supersedes each and every Authorizations Matrix prior to the following date of approval: June 2020
2
All contracts must be reviewed and approved through the Contracts Review Process consisting of initial submission to the Contracts and Financial Managers for review (when required). The sole exception to this is Non-
Disclosure Agreements (NDA), which require review by Contracts Manager prior to being signed by Corporate Manager. No Government Contract will be independently executed by any person other than the COO or the CEO,
irrespective of any other authorization or approval.
3
NDA: Non-Disclosure Agreements. These are required prior to communication of confidential business information to any outside party.
4
TA: Teaming Agreement. These are required prior to expenditure of Vysnova resources in a proposal involving other parties as bidding partners.
5 Contracts. These include any binding agreement between Vysnova and another entity, such as a new contract, a contract change, a contract amendment, a contract modification, a contract extension, etc.
6
The requirement in this cell is to obtain a Clearance as a step prior to Authorization. Clearance shall be in a form sufficient to provide documentary evidence (“paper trail”); and, depending on the clearance, this will involve use
of authorizations summary forms (e.g. Purchase Requisitions, Travel Expense Reports, etc.) or in some cases specific and clear email clearance. A Clearance is a confirmation that internal reviews and controls have been carried
out; it does not constitute approval and is not a final step in any approval sequence. Seek approval from Final Authorized Approvers.
7
Financial review is performed by the Controller (or his/her designated representative) and Accounting (F&A) Specialist. All purchases/payments above the $20K threshold require Controller approval.
8

out; having received and reconcilled any and all clearances/comments the individual is alloweed to proceed with approval.
