4. Ready for execution or post-approval delivery	Consider a separate securities, technology or implementation mandate.

How coordinated mandates work

Each company completes separate acceptance and documentation. Fees, invoices, client money, transaction money, regulatory decisions and professional liabilities remain with the responsible company. A Group relationship lead may coordinate the programme without combining mandates.
