AMC Acceptable means of compliance

## AMC1 145.A.30(a) Personnel requirements

ACCOUNTABLE MANAGER

Accountable manager is normally intended to mean the chief executive officer of the approved [maintenance](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/maintenance) [organisation](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/organisation), who by virtue of his or her position has overall (including in particular financial) responsibility for running the organisation. The accountable manager may be the accountable manager for more than one organisation and is not necessarily required to be knowledgeable on technical matters, as the MOE defines the maintenance standards. When the accountable manager is not the chief executive officer, the organisation should demonstrate to the competent authority that the accountable manager has direct access to the chief executive officer and has the necessary funding allocation for the intended maintenance activities.
