 Information Act request summarised below.

 Business Migration Team staff members within Immigration New Zealand with

We seek clarification on the point I have highlighted in yellow above. 
 There are multiple interpretations of the request for “directions from

 information you are seeking so we can provide an appropriate response.

    Dear Andrew Newbery,
Thank you for your reply.
My understanding of "directions from management" is any formal direction from management which helps in guiding and leading the Immigration Officer's to approved transfer of fund (in particular from China) after AIP. I am understand how QDII works and I have requested the OIA information from past, so I am more keen to know any non-QDII approvals.
Yours sincerely,
john luke
