IV. STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION & FILING GUIDE

1. Preparation: Open this document in your preferred word processor. Replace all bracketed text (e.g., [Company Full Legal Name]) with actual entity data. Ensure the [Amount in USD] reflects the specific threshold defined in your bylaws.
2. Verification of Authority: Before executing, ensure the individual acting as "Secretary" is officially recorded in your company’s registry. Ensure the "Authorized Signatories" identified align precisely with the names registered at the Financial Institution.
3. Board Approval: This resolution must be presented at a duly convened meeting of the Board of Directors. The minutes of that meeting should formally note the adoption of this resolution.
4. Execution: Utilize an e-signature platform (e.g., DocuSign, Adobe Sign) for institutional audit trails. Ensure all parties sign in the order prescribed by your internal governance policy.
5. Bank Submission: Once signed, generate a certified copy. Most financial institutions require a "Certification of Corporate Resolution" specifically on their own bank-provided forms; use this document as the primary evidence to populate those forms.
6. Record Retention: Retain the original signed copy in the Company’s "Corporate Minute Book" or digital compliance repository under the "Governance/Banking" category. This is a permanent record of the Company.
