Book excerpt: Excerpt from Banking Principles and Practice, Vol. 3 of 5 The above officers constitute the management of the bank. Except the inherent and inalienable powers and liabilities of certain officers, the powers and liabilities of the officers in general are determined by delegation by the board of directors. The great object in View is to concentrate authority and responsibility and at the same time empower the subordinates with enough authority to execute business expeditiously. The larger the bank, the more persons have to be given authority to Sign for and bind the bank, and the more difficult become the delegation and supervision of this authority. In the pages following are given the legal and other qualifications of the shareholders, directors, president, and cashier, together with their legal authorities and liabilities, as recognized in courts of law. The powers and liabilities of the other employees are comprised within those of these officers, and it is not necessary or possible to state them in detail.
