According To, Per

"The money transfer was according to the manager's request."
"The money transfer was done according to the manager's request."

"The money transfer was per the manager's request."
"The money transfer was done per the manager's request."

Is "done" necessary?
  

Top answer

The verb "transfer" already serves the meaning. To me, "done" is redundant. I would just say: The money was transferred as per the request of the manager.

Thank you for your replies, Avangi and dimsumexpress.

So, "per the manager's request" and "according to the manager's request" could be used as adjectives?

I messed up the original post. Let's try this:

"The money transfer was as per the manager's request."
"The money transfer was according to the manager's request."

Is "as per" = "according to"?
