Description Summary
When a finance proxy is in place, requisitions for approval raised by the proxy are treated as acting on behalf of the original approver.
As a result, the system does not trigger the intended “one‑up” approval. This effectively bypasses the escalation control that would normally require a higher-level approver.A proxy cannot approve transactions where:
- They are equal to or higher than the delegator’s one-up approver
- They fall within the same approval hierarchy
Add a rule: “If proxy = same or higher approval tier, force escalation”
Redirect approval to:
- Delegator’s manager
- Finance escalation role
This would prevent circular or self approval by proxy
Business Impact
Allowing a proxy to self‑approve transactions undermines segregation of duties, bypasses one‑up approval controls, and increases the risk of error, and audit non-compliance.
Workaround
No current workaround in place
