Corporate governance documents
This is from a corporate governance document that delineates administrative authority. The section in question discusses procedures for delegating authority.
The complete sentence reads:
権限を委譲した者は、その行われた職務行為の過程に対して責任を負う
What is the meaning of 過程? Is it superfluous?
Here is my 試訳: "The person who has delegated authority shall bear responsibility for the administrative conduct of the delegate."
Many thanks for your help.

the process (or course) of his/her duties involved in such delegation
Judging from the entire sentence, I think it roughly means that those who have delegated their authority to somebody else must be responsible for their action taken for such delegation in the course thereof.
With regard to “責任を負う” in this context, I think it is better to use “be held responsible for = 責任を負わされる”, instead of “be responsible for”. To be more specific, however, I would like to reduce this rough translation as follows:
[1] Anyone who has delegated authority to any third party shall be held responsible for the process (or course) of his/her duties involved (assumed, carried out, discharged, done, fulfilled, or performed) in such delegation.
[2] Anyone who has transferred his/her authority to any third party shall be held responsible for the course of his/her duties involved in such transfer.
I hope these will be of some help to you.

Comment: "Thank you, Saito-san. Your interpretation provided me with a new understanding of the writer's intention. "Course of conduct" makes sense."

process/procedure of administrative conduct
Basically, I interpret it to mean that the person who is delegating authority to another individual is responsible to see that the process or procedure of the administrative conduct is carried out in an appropriate, orderly manner....
Note from asker:
| Thank you, Joyce. I also inserted process in the English translation at first. But "the process of administrative conduct" is not something one normally hears. That's why I questioned whether it can be omitted. |
