DIR Approval Clause Samples
The DIR Approval clause establishes that certain actions, decisions, or expenditures require the prior review and authorization of the Director (DIR) before proceeding. In practice, this means that parties must submit relevant proposals, documents, or requests to the DIR, who then evaluates and either approves or rejects them based on established criteria. This clause ensures oversight and control by centralizing decision-making authority, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized actions and maintaining organizational standards.
