My understanding too, is that it is used in documents which are contracts or agreements - where the agreement is between two organisations rather than two individuals.  The individual signing it is not personally liable for the agreement s/he is simply an authorised signatory of the organisation.

Although I have seen it used inappropriately to replace pp on personal correspondence

Hope that makes sense in the context of your office debate
