English to Russian Bus/Financial Law (general) Corporate Governance (Code of Conduct)

Here is the context:

- Return valuable gifts to the sender (and notify your manager)
- Only promotional objects of the Company can be offered (planners, pens, hats, gadgets, etc., provided that the value is small); exceptions must not be intended to be or interpreted as a way to obtain illicit advantages for the Company and require proper authorization


I did know still catch what does "require proper authorization" mean here.
