A legally binding document from the organization's governing board acknowledging foreign investors and denying them access to classified or controlled information; board resolutions are adequate in certain cases. What is this document called?

• A. Board Resolution (BR)
• B. Branch Office
• C. Business Structure
• D. Banner markings

Answer: (A)

A board resolution is a formal, legally binding instrument issued by the organization's governing board to record official decisions and policies. In this case, the board formalizes the decision to acknowledge foreign investors while restricting their access to classified or controlled information. The binding nature of a board resolution makes it a reliable basis for security controls and for communicating policy across the organization, ensuring consistent implementation and auditability. A branch office refers to a physical location, not a document. A business structure describes the entity’s legal form, not a decision. Banner markings are labels or identifiers and do not represent formal policy decisions. Therefore, the document described is a board resolution.
