Article 11 of the Saudi Alimony Fund Statute

This article regulates the post of General Manager of the Alimony Fund.

The post: The Fund has a General Manager at Grade 15, nominated by the chairman of the board, who is the executive in charge of managing the Fund under the Statute, the Regulations and what the board decides.

His tasks in particular:

1. Preparing drafts of the Fund's plans and work programs and submitting them to the board for approval.
2. Supervising the progress of work according to the approved plans and programs.
3. Following up the implementation of the board's decisions.
4. Preparing the draft annual budget and submitting it to the board.
5. Preparing the draft annual report and submitting it to the board.
6. Issuing the decisions needed to implement the Statute and the Regulations according to his powers.
7. Spending from the Fund's budget and taking financial steps, under the laws and regulations and within what the board has delegated to him.
8. Representing the Fund in its dealings with third parties and before the courts, and he may delegate others to do so with the board's approval.
9. Any other power the board assigns to him.

Internal delegation: The General Manager may delegate some of his powers to whomever he sees fit among the Fund's staff. Note the difference between this general delegation and delegating the representation of the Fund before third parties and the courts, which needs the board's approval.
