Spanish term

Responsable:

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Label next to the name of a person signing a business report in which he evaluates his department's and/or his own performance. The other signature is labeled "Autorización:"

The conventional translation would be "manager." but I wonder how I should translate it if it means the person who wrote the report. In English we would say "author," but I am not sure of the correct Spanish business equivalent, if one exists.
