In what situation would waivers be granted?

Waivers are typically granted in situations where the financial stakes involved are not substantial. When the financial interest is minor, authorities may choose to overlook certain regulations or requirements to allow for flexibility. This is often a way to alleviate burdens that, if strictly enforced, would create unnecessary hardship without significant impact on the overall financial integrity or policy goals of the governing body.

In contrast, significant financial interests would generally lead to stricter adherence to regulations rather than leniency. Situations deemed unimportant may not warrant any waiver consideration at all, as the purpose of a waiver is to allow exceptions to established policies. Lastly, while public opinion pressure can influence decision-making, waivers primarily rely on the materiality of the financial interests involved, and significant public pressure does not inherently justify the granting of a waiver.
