The key idea is accountability: the person signing regulatory documents for a corporation must have the authority to bind the company and certify the information. The approved signatory on LRP documentation is a responsible corporate officer, a corporate officer who has the authority to sign on behalf of the company and take responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the filing. This ensures that someone with legitimate authority and accountability attests to the content, reducing the risk of false or incomplete information. In practice, a responsible corporate officer can include officers like President, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, or other officer with signing authority designated to bind the corporation. A project manager, while important for execution, typically lacks the authority to bind the company or certify at the corporate level, so it isn’t appropriate as the signatory.
