Part 1: Constitution, proceedings etc Discharge of functions
Paragraph 10 sets out who is permitted to exercise the functions of the IMA. The IMA can authorise its employees, members or committees to do anything the IMA may do, apart from approving an annual report as set out in paragraph 31 (which is a function reserved to the IMA’s board). A committee of the IMA under sub-paragraph (2) can authorise a sub-committee, a committee member, a member of the IMA or an employee of the IMA to exercise a function the relevant committee is authorised to carry out. This ability to delegate is intended to ensure operational effectiveness.
	Sub-paragraph (3) provides that a committee and a sub-committee may include IMA employees who are not members of it.
